According to the statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) identified the targets and conducted “precise” missile and drone strikes, allegedly causing significant casualties. However, there has been no independent confirmation of these claims.
The spokesperson issued a strong warning, saying that Donald Trump and US military commanders should understand that the region could turn into a “graveyard” for American forces.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon is reportedly preparing to deploy additional troops to the Middle East. According to a CBS News report, elements of the 82nd Airborne Division, including a command unit and ground forces, may be sent to the region.
