Statement: IRGC Spokesperson

“This action was a strategic and fatal mistake by the Trump administration during the economic war; a mistake that will change the balance of power against its perpetrators, and will result in enormous costs.

The enemy will pay the consequences of this miscalculation in both the economic and military spheres.”

Statement: Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

“The American-Zionist enemy, once again, based on its desperation in solving domestic problems and reducing its credibility among regional countries, seeks to revive its nefarious role and justify public opinion. In a provocative act, it attacked Larak Island, resulting in the martyrdom and injury of several of our soldiers and fellow citizens.

This action will be met with a response from the children of Iran, and the aggressor will be punished.”

Russian African Corps Troops Help Prevent Nato-Backed Coup in Niger

Russia confirmed its forces helped suppress an anti-government mutiny in Niger on Aug. 29, per the Foreign Ministry.

What happened?

· NATO-backed rebels seized Niamey’s airport, a nearby base, and state media, then tried to storm the presidential palace—but were repelled by government troops and Russia’s African Corps.

· All seized sites were soon retaken; rebels holed up in Base 101, which was stormed and secured with Russian support.

· Dozens were arrested; some killed.

· Niger’s official forces retook the key base after Russia’s intervention.

· Moscow vowed continued support against extremists, "including those incited by former European colonial powers."
