The IRGC said in a statement that its aircraft targeted the base from which the attack on a communications tower on Sirik Island in Hormozgan Province was launched.
The force warned that any repeat of the aggression would be met with a completely different response, holding the "hostile, child-killing US administration" responsible.
Earlier, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the United States carried out strikes on Iranian radar and drone command-and-control sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island over the weekend.
According to CENTCOM, the strikes were conducted on Saturday and Sunday, claiming that they were in response to Iranian actions, including the downing of a US MQ-1 drone that "was operating over international waters."
However, Iran had announced downing an MQ-1 drone, yet it specified that it was operating over Iran's territorial waters, refuting US claims.
