BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 28. The U.S.
military’s naval base in Bahrain, along with other regional bases,
has come under attack, the statement of Iran's Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC/SEPAH) says, Trend reports.
According to information, U.S. facilities in Qatar and the
United Arab Emirates (UAE), as well as security and military sites
in Israel, were targeted in the strikes.
IRGC stated that in the initial phase of Operation "True Promise
4", Iranian Armed Forces struck regional targets belonging to
Israel and the U.S., which had been carrying out operations against
Iran. Iranian forces continue to conduct missile and drone attacks
against strategic sites.
Following the second round of nuclear talks between Washington
and Tehran on February 17, which ended without progress, the U.S.
increased its presence in areas near Iran, deploying over 150
aircraft to bases in Europe and the Middle East.
The escalation follows the 3rd round of nuclear talks between
Iran and the United States in Geneva on February 26. Held under the
administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, the negotiations
were seen as a last opportunity for a diplomatic resolution.
However, no agreements were reached, as Tehran refused to halt
uranium enrichment, dismantle its nuclear facilities, or accept
indefinite restrictions on its nuclear program. Israel launched its
airstrikes shortly afterward, with Katz emphasizing that the
operations were preemptive.
