Iranian spokesperson of the Central Command of the Khatam al-Anbiya: 'In response to these acts of aggression and terrorism, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, through the brave sons of the nation in the valiant army and the heroic Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, swiftly and powerfully launched a powerful missile and drone attack against the criminal U.S. bases in the region, destroying them and inflicting heavy damage to infrastructure, facilities, weapons, and equipment. A significant number of American commanders and soldiers were killed or injured. This offensive operation will continue as a lesson to the Americans until they regret their crimes. We warn that the continuation of American aggression in the region will be met with even heavier, broader, and more devastating responses, and any country that cooperates with the aggressive U.S. military must accept the dangerous consequences.'
