The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) has said that “the criminal American regime” failed to learned the lessons of past Middle East wars and will suffer the consequences after bombing Iran.

“The US’s repetition of past failed follies demonstrates strategic incompetence and disregard for the realities on the ground in the region,” the IRGC said in a statement, according to Al Jazeera.

“Instead of learning from repeated failures, Washington has effectively placed itself on the front lines of aggression by directly attacking peaceful [nuclear] installations.

The paramilitary force said the flight locations of the US aircraft that participated in the attack “have been identified and monitored”.

“The number, dispersion, and size of US military bases in the region are not a strength but have doubled their vulnerability,” it warned.
