Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for targeting 14 U.S. military bases in the Middle East in retaliation for recent Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iranian positions. According to an IRGC spokesperson the attacks resulted in the deaths of hundreds of American troops though these figures have not been independently verified.
The spokesperson emphasized that Iran’s powerful military operation, named Operation Promise 4 will continue with full force and that attacks on U.S. installations will intensify. Iranian state media reported that the strikes targeted bases across Bahrain Qatar and the United Arab Emirates as well as military positions in central Israel. The U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, stationed in Bahrain, was also reportedly affected.
The IRGC described the operation as a direct response to what it called aggression by the U.S. military and Israel asserting that regional targets were deliberately struck to deter further attacks. Officials confirmed that missile and drone attacks would continue as part of Iran’s ongoing military campaign.
This announcement follows earlier claims that senior Iranian officials, including the Defense Minister and IRGC commander, were killed in Israeli attacks. The situation marks a significant escalation in regional tensions, drawing international attention as Iran continues its retaliatory operations.
