A member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has died from injuries sustained by "enemy drones," according to a statement from the IRGC's ideological wing reported by the state news agency IRNA. Mohammad Reza Khazini was reportedly hit by shrapnel in the port city of Mahshahr, near the Iraqi border.

The incident occurs amidst a backdrop of renewed military actions, despite an existing agreement to cease hostilities. In response, the Iranian military issued a stern warning, declaring that any location that facilitates U.S. attacks against Iran will be deemed a "legitimate target."

The military statement further elaborated on this stance, asserting that "any support for the aggressive American army, aimed at violating the sovereignty and territory of Islamic Iran, will be a legitimate target for the armed forces." This declaration signals Iran's intent to retaliate against perceived threats and those who aid them.
