Iranian military officials claim to have attacked 14 U.S. bases, resulting in hundreds of American soldiers' deaths amidst escalating tensions with the U.S. and Israel.
In a significant escalation of military tensions in the Middle East, Iranian forces have reportedly launched attacks on 14 American bases, resulting in claims of hundreds of American casualties. The spokesperson for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the attacks in a statement aired by state media, asserting that these strikes are part of a broader retaliation against recent U.S. and Israeli assaults on Iranian positions.
The IRGC spokesperson, Ibrahim Jolfaghari, indicated that the attacks targeted U.S. military facilities across the region, including in Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain, following actions taken by the U.S. and Israel against Iran. Eyewitness reports from Dubai and Abu Dhabi mention loud explosions, with Iranian missiles reportedly intercepted by air defense systems, leading to debris falling in populated areas.
This development raises serious concerns about an escalation into full-scale war in the region, given the increasing military confrontation between Iranian forces and Western allies. The Iranian government has warned of more severe attacks in the future, which could further destabilize the region and provoke a stronger military response from the U.S. and its allies, challenging international efforts aimed at de-escalation and diplomacy in the area.
