In a statement on Saturday, the IRGC stated the strikes were carried out jointly by its Aerospace Force and Navy in response to "the malicious actions of the US-Zionist enemy targeting the industrial infrastructure of our beloved country from the Persian Gulf's littoral states."
The two targeted facilities were identified as the Emirates Aluminum (EMAL) plant and the Aluminum Bahrain (ALBA) plant, Press TV reported.
The statement highlighted their strategic significance, noting that EMAL houses the world’s longest aluminum production line with a capacity of 1.3 million tons, while ALBA operates with American investment and shareholding. The latter, it added, "plays a significant role in supplying the military-industrial production of the US terrorist army."
The IRGC emphasized that Iran’s response to threats and acts of aggression "will no longer follow a mere ‘eye for an eye’ approach."
"Instead, beyond any level of aggression, a decisive blow will be delivered to the military and economic structure of the enemies."
