The spokesperson for Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Iran's highest operational command unit, says Iranian forces carried out a missile strike against a US military installation following an attack on a desalination facility in southern Islamic Republic.
Speaking on Saturday, Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari said the response followed aggression originating from the Naval Support Activity Bahrain, which is a United States Navy base that serves as the home to US Naval Forces Central Command and United States Fifth Fleet.
"In response to the aggression by American terrorists from the Juffair base against the Qeshm desalination facility, that American base was immediately struck by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) using precision solid-fuel missiles,” he noted.
The official described the strike as a direct response to the attack on the facility located on Qeshm Island.
Impact of earlier strikes on enemy radar
The spokesman also referred to earlier stages of Iranian reprisal against renewed Israeli-American aggression targeting the Islamic Republic, saying previous retaliatory strikes had degraded enemy surveillance systems.
“Given that the enemy’s radar systems were destroyed during previous waves, the destruction of targets has now become much easier.”
Continued drone operations
Zolfaqari further indicated that aerial operations using unmanned systems would continue.
“Drone attacks by the self-sacrificing forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army's Ground Force against the American-Zionist enemy will continue on a sustained basis.”
The retaliation is being carried out under the codename Operation True Promise 4.
The operation began momentarily after the launch of the unlawful foreign aggression last Saturday. It has seen the IRGC hit sensitive and strategic targets throughout the occupied territories as well as the United States' regional interests with hundreds of ballistic missiles and attack drones.
Among others, prominent targets have featured hostile objects in the city of Tel Aviv, the holy occupied city of al-Quds, and the occupied city of Be'er Sheva, which serves as the Israeli regime's technology hub, as well as the US's Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and an American destroyer in the Indian Ocean.

Iran's top security official says reports indicate that several American soldiers have been captured during the latest round of the United States' and the Israeli regime's unprovoked aggression towards the Islamic Republic that has prompted decisive Iranian retaliation.
Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, made the remarks in a post on X on Sunday, saying, “It has been reported to me that several American soldiers have been taken prisoner."
"But the Americans claim that they have been killed in action. Despite their futile efforts, the truth is not something they can hide for too long,” he added.
Since late last month, Washington and Tel Aviv have begun taking Iran under fresh deadly atrocities, triggering the Islamic Republic's Armed Forces, most notably the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), to fight back by launching hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones against numerous sensitive and strategic hostile targets.
A day earlier, Larijani had ...
