IRGC targets US-linked aluminum industries in coordinated missile-drone strike
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced targeting two industries connected to US military and aerospace sectors in a combined missile and drone operation.

In a statement on Saturday, the Corps said the strikes were carried out jointly by its Aerospace Force and Navy in response to "the malicious actions of the US-Zionist enemy targeting the industrial infrastructure of our beloved country from the Persian Gulf's littoral states."

The two targeted facilities were identified as the Emirates Aluminum (EMAL) plant and the Aluminum Bahrain (ALBA) plant.

The statement highlighted their strategic significance, noting that EMAL houses the world’s longest aluminum production line with a capacity of 1.3 million tons, while ALBA operates with American investment and shareholding. The latter, it added, "plays a significant role in supplying the military-industrial production of the US terrorist army."

Emirates Global Aluminum (EGA) says its key production site in Abu Dhabi suffered significant damage following Iranian missile and drone strikes, with several employees injured.

Warning of escalated response

The IRGC emphasized that Iran’s response to threats and acts of aggression "will no longer follow a mere ‘eye for an eye’ approach."

"Instead, beyond any level of aggression, a decisive blow will be delivered to the military and economic structure of the enemies."

The strikes have followed targeting of numerous infrastructural facilities inside Iran during the United States' and the Israeli regime's latest bout of unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic that began late last month.

The aggressors have, among other targets, struck the country's major steel producers, universities, schools, hospitals, and residential areas.

Shortly after the onset of the American-Israeli aggression on February 28, the Corps launched unrelenting retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic enemy targets across the region using hundreds of ballistic and hypersonic missiles as well as attack drones.
