00:00Iran just hit the command center of America's Persian Gulf military operation.
00:04And the White House is under pressure to respond.
00:07The IRGC announced on June 3rd that its naval forces struck the headquarters of the U.S.
00:13Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
00:15The Fifth Fleet coordinates all U.S. naval operations across the Persian Gulf, Red Sea,
00:21and Indian Ocean.
00:22It is the nerve center of American military power in the region.
00:26Iran said the strike was retaliation for a U.S. Hellfire missile attack on an Iranian
00:32commercial vessel and a strike on a communications tower on Keshem Island.
00:37Bahrain's military confirmed it intercepted three Iranian missiles and multiple drones
00:42during the attack.
00:43The U.S. military denied significant damage, but the message from Tehran is unmistakable.
00:49Iran is willing to target American command infrastructure directly.
00:53This is not a proxy attack.
00:55This is Iran shooting at the headquarters of the U.S. military's most important regional
01:00command.
01:01The escalation ladder has no visible ceiling.
