Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on the 28th, local time, that it struck U.S. military bases in the Middle East in retaliation for U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, causing significant damage.
Iranian state media and Tasnim News said the Revolutionary Guard announced it had carried out airstrikes on 14 U.S. bases and that at least 200 troops were killed or wounded.
The Revolutionary Guard also claimed it completely destroyed the U.S. FP-132 radar installed at Qatar's Al Udeid base. The Iranian side added that this radar is equipped with ballistic missile interception technology and has a detection range of 5,000 km.
The Revolutionary Guard further said it severely destroyed a U.S. Navy combat support ship with missiles and warned that other U.S. Navy power assets are also within range of its missiles and drones.
Revolutionary Guard Gen. Ebrahim Javari appeared on state TV and said, "Trump should know that while we launched missiles we had in stock, we will soon unveil the most powerful missiles we have ever seen."
Iran claimed it conducted two rounds of strikes, in the morning and afternoon, with missiles and drones on the same day against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest U.S. base in the Middle East, as well as the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, Kuwait's Al Salem Air Base, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Al Dhafra base.
