The Iranian military claimed to have inflicted significant damage on technical infrastructure and fighter jet staging areas at the King Hussein and Al-Azraq bases. While Iranian state media reported heavy destruction, US sources cited by Fox News suggest that most incoming projectiles were intercepted, resulting in no significant impact on American forces. This confrontation follows a US offensive on Larak Island, where American forces targeted two rocket launchers identified as being prepared to deploy sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz.
This exchange represents the first direct US attack on Iranian territory since late July and complicates the Trump administration’s recent pivot toward economic pressure rather than kinetic military operations. President Donald Trump, speaking to Fox News, reiterated that Iran will be barred from acquiring nuclear weapons, labeling the country's leadership as violent. The strikes occurred only hours after Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei called for regional unity against the United States and Israel, further heightening tensions across the Middle East.
