Rear Admiral Tangsiri stated in a message on X that the bases that originated attacks on Iranian islands were struck with a barrage of ballistic missiles and destructive drones.
“The IRGC Navy has crushed the facilities of the two air bases of Al Minhad and Ali Al Salem, as well as the hangars and fuel storage tanks of American-Zionist aircraft, with a massive volume of ballistic missiles and destructive drones,” he said.
“These bases were the origin of aggression against Iranian islands. We have prepared the graves of the child-killing aggressors on all Iranian islands,” the IRGC Navy commander warned.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.
The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
