The US military has announced it destroyed the headquarters of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard force, AFP reports.

“America has the most powerful military on earth, and the IRGC no longer has a headquarters,” US Central Command (Centcom) has said in a statement.

“The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) killed more than 1,000 Americans over the past 47 years. Yesterday, a large-scale US strike cut off the head of the snake,” the statement adds.
