The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced the targeting of six tactical vessels operated by the terrorist US military in the Persian Gulf waters, leaving a large number of American forces killed in the process.
“In continuation of the 84th wave of Operation True Promise 4, the IRGC naval units conducted a hybrid operation against US and Israeli terrorists deployed in al-Shoyoukh port as well as Dubai’s coasts and port, hitting downhearted American troops and their tactical hardware precisely,” the public relations department of the IRGC said in a statement on Friday.
The statement noted that six US landing craft utility (LCU) were struck in the operation, which was carried out using homegrown ballistic missiles, such as Qadr 380 cruise missiles.
“Given field reports, three of the combat vessels sank after the (retaliatory) strikes, whilst the rest are aflame,” the IRGC further noted.
In the meantime, kamikaze drones were employed to launch operations against the gathering centers of the US drone unit personnel on the coasts and one of the hotels in Dubai.
“During the operation, a large number of American terrorists were killed, and tactical vessels sunk,” the statement said.
The United States and Israel initiated a large-scale and unprovoked military campaign against Iran in the wake of the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several high-ranking military commanders and civilians on February 28.
The aggression has comprised a series of intensive strikes on both military installations and civilian facilities throughout Iran, leading to considerable loss of life and widespread damage to infrastructure.
In response, Iranian Armed Forces carried out retaliatory missile and drone strikes against US interests across West Asia and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.
