IRGC threatens underwater missiles as Iran war escalates

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has threatened to deploy underwater missiles in the coming days, escalating regional tensions. Deputy Commander Ali Fadavi claimed the missiles travel at 100 meters per second and may be used against adversaries. This follows Iran's refusal to surrender to US and Israeli firepower, with Fadavi alleging President Trump seeks a ceasefire despite Iran's military advances. The disclosure aims to cause panic among enemies, according to former US CENTCOM commander Joseph Votel. Regional tensions intensified after drones struck fuel tanks at Oman's Port of Salalah, while Iran attacked ships including a Chinese carrier near Iraq. The UN Security Council condemned Iran's attacks on Gulf states, passing a resolution with 13 votes supporting sovereignty and territorial integrity. CENTCOM reported destroying nearly 20 Iranian mine-layers near the Strait of Hormuz and degrading Iran's air capabilities. Will this escalation disrupt global energy markets or trigger broader international intervention?
