BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 12. The Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC/SEPAH) has announced that it
carried out missile strikes against U.S. military bases in regional
countries and Israel as part of the 41st phase of Operation "True
Promise 4," Trend
reports.
According to a statement released by the IRGC, the group
launched more than 10 missiles at U.S. military bases in the region
and Israeli targets during the operation.
The statement said the strikes involved several advanced weapons
systems, including the multi-warhead Khorramshahr missile, the
multi-warhead Qadr missile, the Kheibarshekan missile with a
one-ton warhead, and the Fattah hypersonic missile with a one-ton
warhead, as well as kamikaze drones.
Since no concrete agreement was reached in negotiations between
the United States and Iran over the nuclear program, the U.S. and
Israel began military airstrikes against Iran on February 28. In
response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Israel and
U.S. military facilities located in countries across the region,
starting the same day.
On the first day of the air strikes against Iran, Iran’s Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking
military officials were killed. On March 8, Iran’s Assembly of
Experts elected Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ayatollah
Seyyed Ali Khamenei, as Iran’s third Supreme Leader by majority
vote.
Between March 1 and March 5, the confrontation expanded further,
affecting several countries across the Middle East.
According to reports, the US side suffered losses of 8 dead and
more than 140 wounded.
As a result of the conflict, the region’s energy infrastructure
and maritime transportation have also come under serious risk. Due
to heightened security tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, global
oil prices have surged sharply, and several countries have urged
their citizens to leave the region.
