Iran’s Army strikes Israeli, US air bases housing advanced fighter jets  

The Islamic Republic of Iran Army has launched retaliatory drone strikes on Israeli and US air bases in the region, where their fighter jets are stationed.

In a statement released on Monday, the Army said drone units of its ground, air, and naval forces from across the country conducted the operations against Tel Nof Air Base near Tel Aviv and Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, also known as Azraq, in Jordan.

It said Tel Nof is one of the most vital bases of the Israeli regime’s air force, adding that the facility has played a key role in long-range attacks and the ongoing aggression against Iran with its support and fighter jet squadrons.

Azraq, which is one of the most important operational and support centers of the US in the region, hosts F-35 and F-15 warplanes, along with electronic warfare aircraft, involved in air raids against Iran, it added.

“Since the beginning of the US-Israeli aggression, Iran’s Army has carried out dozens of drone strike phases targeting important and strategic points in the occupied territories, as well as American bases located in regional countries that are the origin of [anti-Iran] attacks.”

The illegal US-Israeli aggression on Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders.

The Iranian armed forces have responded by launching missile and drone operations targeting locations in the Israeli occupied lands as well as US military bases and assets across the region.
