War showed US bases in region protect no one, only serve Israel: Qalibaf 

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf says the unprovoked military aggression by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic clearly proved that US military bases in the West Asia region do not provide security to host countries but will only serve the Tel Aviv regime.

In a post on his X account on Saturday, Qalibaf said the US-Israeli war proved one thing quite clearly that the American bases in the region do not protect anyone but rather “they are a threat.”

He added that the US “sacrifices everyone for Israel and never cares about anyone but Israel.”

“Anyone clothed by the US is literally NAKED,” the top Iranian parliamentarian emphasized.

The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale military assault against Iran, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.

Iran has responded with waves of retaliatory missile and drone strikes on Israeli targets in the occupied territories and US bases in regional countries.

Tehran says it respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbors, but that it has no choice but to exercise its right to legitimate self-defense by targeting US bases in the region used to carry out attacks against Iran.

Earlier in the day, Iran’s naval forces struck key targets within American bases, including Al Dhafra, Sheikh Isa, and Al-Udeid.

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri said that US Patriot radar systems, control towers, aircraft hangars, central ramps, and aircraft fuel depots were among the facilities that were struck.

The IRGC public relations also said in a statement that Iranian missile and drone units struck the Patriot radars, control tower, and air defense hangars of the Al Dhafra base with devastating kamikaze drones and pinpoint ballistic missiles.
