Iran announced missile strikes on U.S. bases
Iran announced the launch of a military operation against U.S. forces following new U.S. strikes on Iranian territory. According to the Iranian news agency Tasnim, the targets included U.S. military bases and other U.S. facilities in the region. However, at the time of this report, no country in the Middle East had officially stated that it had been attacked by Iran.
Iran announced the launch of a military operation in response to new U.S. strikes on its territory. Iranian forces began attacking U.S. military bases and other U.S. facilities located in the region. The information was also reported by the state-run Iraqi News Agency (INA). The agency stated that the Iranian armed forces had launched a “decisive operation” in response to the U.S. attack.
The Iraqi agency separately reported that missiles had been fired toward U.S. military bases. “Iran: Missiles Fired Toward U.S. Bases in the Region,” reads the INA’s urgent report.
Prior to this, the Iranian state television channel Press TV released a statement from the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces. Following the U.S. strikes on the southern regions of the country, the statement promised the United States a response. The Iranian military stated that the response would be “devastating.” Thus, Tehran has effectively announced the start of strikes against U.S. military facilities in response to the U.S. attack. At the same time, the first reports of the operation are coming specifically from Iranian state media and outlets close to the government.
As of the time of publication, there is no independent confirmation of all claims regarding the scale and results of the Iranian operation. It is also still unknown exactly which U.S. facilities may have been struck and whether there are any U.S. military casualties. It is also important to note that countries in the region have not yet reported any Iranian strikes on their territory. This means that information regarding the possible consequences of the attacks may still be subject to change.
The situation remains tense due to the risk of further escalation of hostilities in the Middle East. If U.S. military facilities are struck, Washington’s response could trigger a new round of escalation. The main question now remains whether reports of missile launches will be confirmed, what targets they struck, and what the U.S. response will be. This was reported by the Iranian news agency Tasnim.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to launch large-scale strikes against Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities near the Strait of Hormuz.
