BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 31. Iran’s military
said it targeted the U.S. military’s Al Minhad Air Base in the
United Arab Emirates with kamikaze drones.


The claim was made in a statement released by Iran’s
military.


“In response to last night’s U.S. military attacks on Larak
Island, which killed innocent civilians and members of the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iranian forces targeted locations at Al
Minhad Air Base in the UAE where U.S. forces and helicopters are
stationed, using dozens of kamikaze drones,” the statement
said.


The Iranian military said the air base is one of the key hubs
for providing air support and transporting foreign forces.


Iran’s military said its forces are ready to protect the
country’s territorial integrity, ensure its security and respond to
any attacks.


The statement follows reports that the U.S. military destroyed
two missile systems on Iran’s Larak Island in the south of the
country. Two people were reportedly killed and two others wounded
in the airstrikes.
