Iran Targets U.S. Bases, Israeli Sites in Latest Military Operations

The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said the latest strikes, described as part of the 83rd wave of the operation, were carried out through coordinated efforts by the naval and aerospace units of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

The attacks reportedly targeted strategic locations, including oil storage facilities in Ashdod, military sites in Modiin, and a U.S. military communications center.

Additional strikes were reported against U.S. installations, including bases in Al Dhafra and Al Udeid, as well as infrastructure such as aircraft maintenance hangars, fuel depots, and a Patriot missile system facility at Sheikh Isa airbase.

According to the spokesperson, the operations involved a mix of long- and medium-range missile systems—both solid- and liquid-fueled—alongside loitering and strike drones. He suggested that the scale of the operations so far represents only a portion of Iran’s full capabilities.

In a subsequent phase, Iranian forces targeted Al Kharj airbase, described as a key hub for aerial refueling and logistical support. Reports indicated that several refueling aircraft were destroyed, while others suffered significant damage.

The spokesperson also claimed that Iranian naval and aerospace units maintain effective control over the Strait of Hormuz and continue to hold the operational initiative in the Persian Gulf, pledging that further operations will follow.

Separately, the IRGC announced that its naval forces carried out a combined drone and missile strike on what it described as U.S.- and Israeli-linked targets on Bubiyan Island as part of the 84th wave of the same operation.

The statement said the attack, conducted on Friday evening, involved multiple explosive drones and ballistic missiles and resulted in casualties among U.S. forces, with the wounded reportedly transferred to nearby medical facilities.
