Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced on Friday that they struck a US special operations command post at al-Tanf in Syria to avenge the deaths of Iranian troops in Iranshahr, according to Iranian state media.

Reuters could not confirm the assertion on its own, and the Syrian government along with the US military offered no immediate response.

The US military noted in February that it had finished pulling out from the al-Tanf base at the meeting point of Syria, Jordan and Iraq.

Syria has worked to steer clear of the wider regional fighting that has drawn in nearby nations such as Lebanon, where Hezbollah has clashed with Israeli forces, and Iraq, where Iran-backed groups have fired drones and rockets.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa stated in March that his nation would avoid any conflict unless directly attacked.

"Unless Syria is targeted by any party, Syria will remain outside any conflict," Sharaa said during an event at the Chatham House think tank in London.

The IRGC further claimed that Iran keeps full control over the Strait of Hormuz and that no oil or gas would move through the waterway while US attacks persist, per the state media account.

This is a developing story.
