According to a statement from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the unit has carried out an attack on 18 key U.S. military targets as a response to recent acts of aggression.
The strikes, code-named “Operation Martyr Soleimani,” were launched using ballistic missiles and drones aimed at U.S. military bases, command centers, weapons depots, and military infrastructure in the region. The IRGC asserted that all targets were military in nature and had been previously identified.
The IRGC declared that the attack achieved its objectives, hitting all targets with precision. “All U.S. military bases are within our striking range,” a statement from the IRGC emphasized, warning that further actions would follow if the U.S. commits any additional violations.
Detailed information on U.S. military casualties or specific damage has not been immediately released. U.S. defense officials are assessing the damage and coordinating with allies for a response plan.
The latest move escalates already heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S. following the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani earlier this year. The incident is drawing international attention, with multiple calls for restraint to avoid a large-scale conflict in the Middle East.
