The Iranian army, on Monday, said it struck US bases in Jordan with explosive drones in retaliation for an American strike on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz.
It said the drone also targeted troops and helicopters stationed at Al Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates—a claim the UAE denies.
The Iranian military said, “Since early this morning, the Islamic Republic of Iran Army has targeted locations housing US military helicopters and personnel at Al Minhad base in the UAE with dozens of explosive drones.”
It described Al Minhad as an important logistics and air transport hub for foreign forces and vowed further retaliation against US troops.
PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that the IRGC said the US attack on the Larak Island killed several IRGC members and civilians.
