The spokesman confirmed that Iranian forces have inflicted heavy damage on US military bases in the Persian Gulf region. General Naani said, “650 US soldiers were killed or wounded in the first two days of the war.” He stressed that the US is trying to hide or deny these casualties, but Iranian intelligence and battlefield reports have confirmed this figure.

‘Attack on Fifth Fleet in Bahrain’
According to General Naini, Iranian missiles and drones repeatedly attacked the headquarters of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet located in Bahrain.

According to the claim, 160 US personnel were killed or injured when a major US military base in Bahrain was targeted. Furthermore, a US Navy MST combat support ship was also heavily damaged by Iranian naval missiles.

An IRGC spokesperson revealed that Iranian naval forces fired four cruise missiles at the USS Abraham Lincoln, stationed approximately 250 to 300 kilometers off the Chabahar coast. Following the attacks, the aircraft carrier
reportedly fled for safety towards the southeastern Indian Ocean.

He said that Iran is using its full military might under Operation “True Promise 4.” Tensions in the region have reached unprecedented levels, posing a serious threat to global security.
