BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 15. Iran's Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has fired on US military bases in
the Gulf countries and Israel's regional command center, the IRGC
said in a statement, Trend reports.
According to the information, the IRGC has completed the 53rd
phase of the military operation "True Promise 4". During this
phase, US military positions at the Al-Dhafra airbase, which plays
a role in providing support and information for airstrikes on Iran,
were also fired upon.
It is reported that 10 Fattah hypersonic missiles, Qadr missiles
and kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicles were used at this stage.
Since no concrete agreement was reached in negotiations between
the United States (US) and Iran over the nuclear program, the US
and Israel began military airstrikes against Iran on February 28.
In response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Israel and
US 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 as Iran’s third Supreme
Leader by majority vote.
From March 1 through March 5, the confrontation expanded
further, affecting several countries across the Middle East.
According to information, the U.S. side suffered losses of 8
dead and more than 140 wounded.
The ongoing conflict has significantly threatened the region’s
energy infrastructure and maritime transport. Oil prices have
surged on global markets due to heightened security tensions around
the Strait of Hormuz, prompting several countries to advise their
citizens to leave the region.
