Israel says it hit IRGC naval HQ in Tehran last week

Mar 16, 2026, 21:24 GMT+0

Israel’s military said it carried out a “precise strike” last week targeting what it described as a headquarters used by senior naval commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards to manage operations and coordinate maritime activity.

In a post on X published with a motion graphic, the Israeli military said the Tehran facility was used to “advance international maritime terrorist activities.”

It accused the IRGC of attacking on civilian vessels and supplying regional armed groups with weapons via sea routes.

Araghchi denies contact with Witkoff, says US attack 'killed' diplomacy

Mar 16, 2026, 21:17 GMT+0

Iran’s foreign minister has dismissed reports of recent contacts with Washington, saying his last communication with US envoy Steve Witkoff came before what he described as a military attack that “killed diplomacy.”

“My last contact with Mr. Witkoff was prior to his employer's decision to kill diplomacy with another illegal military attack on Iran,” Abbas Araghchi wrote on X.

“Any claim to the contrary appears geared solely to mislead oil traders and the public.”

The comment appears to respond to reports suggesting renewed back-channel communication between Tehran and Washington despite the ongoing war.
