DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran's Revolutionary Guards ​said on Thursday ‌they targeted a US airbase at ​0450 local ​time after what they described as ​an early morning ​US attack near Bandar Abbas airport, Tasnim news ​agency reported.

The ​IRGC did not say ‌where the base is.

They warned that any repeat of ​what ​they called aggression would draw ​a "more decisive" response ​and said responsibility for the consequences lay ​with ​the "aggressor".

A US official, who requested anonymity, told Reuters on Wednesday the military shot down four Iranian attack drones and struck a ground control station in the port city of Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone.
