The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy made a statement on the recent successful strikes against U.S. military bases in the region.
The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, Ali Reza Tangsiri, said: "The Iranian navy fleet that was claimed by Trump to have been destroyed successfully attacked multiple targets and caused significant losses to the enemy."
Multiple waves of attacks simultaneously hit key targets at the Al-Dhafra, Sheikh Isa, and Udied military bases. This strike resulted in the destruction of military facilities such as the Patriot missile system radar of the U.S. forces, the control tower of the military airport, hangars for parked equipment, central loading platforms, and fuel terminal facilities.
Iran had previously stated that the United States and Israel would face "extremely unpleasant surprises." It has been revealed that the "surprise" referred to by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a submarine-launched missile weapon. Experts analyze that this mainly refers to the modernized missiles equipped on the Ghadir project's mini-submarines. These missiles can effectively attack coastal infrastructure and ships moored at docks and anchorages.
Whether such missiles have been used to attack targets in the Middle East armed conflict has not been officially confirmed by the Iranian authorities. Iran has attacked several U.S. oil tankers with ballistic missiles or drones, including one hit last night off the coast of the UAE.
