Iranian Army Carries Out Aerial Attacks Against US Base in Bahrain
The Iranian army conducted retaliatory drone attacks targeting gathering centers of US soldiers at Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain on Wednesday.
The Public Relations Office of the Iranian Army said in a statement the military operation was launched in response to “hostile US attacks” on military and civilian areas in Southern Iran and the violation of the 14-point ceasefire accord."Following the hostile aggression of the American enemy against military and civilian areas in the South of the country and the violation of the 14-clause memorandum of understanding, the attack drones of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, from early this morning (Wednesday), targeted the assembly points of American hostile forces at 'Sheikh Isa Base' in Bahrain," the statement read.
The announcement came hours after the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it had struck 85 US military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait and shot down an American MQ-9 drone over Bushehr province.Those attacks were described by the IRGC as an "initial response" to US aerial assault against coastal bases and civilian stations in Hormozgan province and Mahshahr.
The Iranian Army warned that further violations would be met with expanded strikes, adding that "the consequences of the blatant and repeated violation and breaking of the ceasefire by criminal America" would be borne by US forces, and that "all American bases in the region will be legitimate targets for the army's drones".
