IRGC: 100 US Soldiers Killed in Dubai
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said its forces carried out major attacks on American military personnel across the Gulf, including a strike in Dubai that it claims killed more than 100 US soldiers.
In a statement released by the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, the IRGC said:
“We targeted 160 US infantry forces in Dubai and killed 100 of them.”
The Iranian military command said the strike formed part of a broader retaliatory campaign following the US-Israeli assault on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior Iranian officials.
Iranian authorities also said US forces stationed in Kuwait were attacked using large numbers of drones. “We targeted US infantry forces in Kuwait with dozens of destructive drones,” the IRGC command said.
Another US installation in Bahrain was also targeted.
“We targeted the American base in Sheikh Isa area in Bahrain with missiles and drones.”
US Warships Targeted
The Revolutionary Guard also claimed it struck a US naval vessel far from the Gulf battlefield. According to an IRGC statement:
“We targeted with missiles an American destroyer that was refueling 650 kilometers away in the Indian Ocean.”
The claim could not immediately be independently verified. However, the expanding geographic scope of Iran’s operations suggests that the confrontation is spreading far beyond the immediate Gulf theater.
Iran Launches 230 Drones
Iranian military officials said their ground forces had now formally entered the war with large-scale coordinated operations.
The Revolutionary Guard announced:
“The ground forces of the Revolutionary Guard have entered the battlefield with simultaneous operations alongside the launch of 230 attack drones.”
The strikes targeted locations across what Iran described as “the heart and north of the occupied territories.” According to the IRGC:
“We carried out missile and drone attacks on the heart and north of the occupied territories.”
Iran said military and strategic infrastructure were among the targets.
“Among the targets were infrastructure in the strategic area ‘Ben Bara’ and military targets spread in ‘Petah Tikva.’”
The IRGC also claimed strikes on key Israeli command centers.
“Among the targets were the headquarters of the General Staff of the army and the Ministry of Security in Hakirya.”
