Iran claims to have destroyed multiple U.S. military bases and facilities in the Middle East.
Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, July 16 - According to a report from the Islamic Republic News Agency on the 16th, Iran has destroyed multiple military base facilities of the U.S. military located in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan in a new wave of offensives.
The report stated that Iran destroyed the radar detection and air control systems and the pumping station at the Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, as well as the satellite communication center and early warning radar at the Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait, along with the U.S. military dock located in Shuaiba, Kuwait. On the same day, the Iranian military also used drones to strike the radar station, communication systems, and fuel depot at the U.S. military base in Azraq, Jordan.
The report also mentioned that a spokesperson for the Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces, Khatam al-Anbiya, issued a warning to the United States, stating that if the U.S. launches strikes against Iranian infrastructure, all remaining infrastructure in the region will be destroyed. The strikes by the Iranian Armed Forces will not be retaliatory but will be more intense, broader in scope, and more devastating.
According to a report from the Iranian Fars News Agency on the 16th, a spokesperson for the Iranian military stated that a considerable portion of the capabilities and strength of the Iranian Armed Forces has yet to be demonstrated. If any hostile actions against Iran continue, Iran's response will be adjusted according to the situation and will exceed the opponent's expectations, with the conflict potentially expanding into new areas.
Since the 11th, the U.S. military has continuously launched military strikes against Iran. U.S. President Trump stated in an exclusive interview with Fox News on the 14th that U.S. military strikes against Iran will continue until "I say enough." Unless Iran returns to the negotiating table, the U.S. military will strike its bridges and power plants next week.
