Iran’s armed forces strike key US bases in region with missiles, drones: IRGC

Iran’s naval forces have successfully struck key targets within American bases, including Al Dhafra, Sheikh Isa, and Al-Udeid, following the US-Israeli aggression against the country.

Commander of the IRGC Navy Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri wrote in a post on his X account on Saturday that US Patriot radar systems, control towers, aircraft hangars, central ramps, and aircraft fuel depots were among the facilities that were struck.

The IRGC public relations also said in a statement that Iranian missile and drone units struck the Patriot radars, control tower, and air defense hangars of the Al Dhafra base with devastating kamikaze drones and pinpoint ballistic missiles.

The Sheikh Isa base’s early warning radars, aircraft hangars, central ramps, and American aircraft fuel depots were destroyed and set ablaze, it said.

According to the statement, at the Al-Udairi helicopter base, equipment hangars, gathering sites, and helicopter maintenance hangars were destroyed.

Furthermore, it said the Strait of Hormuz is under the full control of the IRGC Navy. The passage of tankers and commercial vessels belonging to aggressors and their allies through the strategic waterway remains prohibited. Any movement or transit will be targeted.

Simultaneously, the Islamic Republic of Iran Army reported launching drone attacks against spy and cyber units of the Israeli regime.

Starting from early this morning, and in continuation of yesterday’s operations, key Israeli cyber intelligence units, including the Aman intelligence organization, Cyber Operations Unit 8200, and data processing centers, were targeted.

“The assembly point for several Israeli fighter jets in occupied territories was also reportedly hit,” it said.

Unit 8200 is responsible for gathering signals intelligence, intercepting digital communications, and conducting offensive cyber operations. Aman is described as a component of the Israeli intelligence structure, it added.
The Army further stated that drone attacks on the occupied territories are ongoing. Iranian Army fighters, will “avenge the pure blood of their dear compatriots, their brave leader, and their valiant commanders.”

On February 28, the United States and the Israeli regime started their unprovoked military assault on Iran, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and senior military commanders.

Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the criminal aggression by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories and on the US bases across the region.
