IRGC Claims Direct Airstrikes on Israeli Air Bases
Summary
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced the launch of 'Operation Nasr,' claiming direct strikes against Tel Nof and Nevatim air bases in Israel. This represents a significant escalation involving direct state-on-state military confrontation, bypassing proxy forces.

"Event 7 describes Iran and Israel pursuing de-escalation following previous direct strikes. The new event, where the IRGC claims new direct airstrikes on Israeli air bases, represents a significant breakdown of that de-escalation effort and a major escalation in the direct state-on-state conflict."
"Event 1 notes US warnings against escalation amid 'strike planning.' The new event confirms that strikes have occurred, validating the fears expressed in the warning and marking the transition from planning/threat to actual execution, thereby escalating the situation."
"Event 12 mentions the restoration of airspace in Iraq and Syria following a previous 'Israel-Iran Direct Exchange.' The new event indicates a resumption or intensification of this direct exchange, suggesting that the previous stabilization (restoration of airspace) has been undone by further military action."
