The Iranian Armed Forces have claimed significant damage to US and Israeli forces amid the ongoing regional conflict. A military spokesperson said the situation reflects a major escalation in tensions.
According to the statement, the Iranian Armed Forces claimed that around 800 US soldiers have been killed and nearly 5,000 injured. The spokesperson also stated that 1,321 Israeli troops have lost their lives since the conflict began. These claims have not been independently verified.
The spokesperson further said that 17 US military bases have been destroyed. He described the reported relocation of US personnel to hotels as a sign of retreat. The Iranian Armed Forces argued that such developments show weaknesses in US military strategy.
In the statement, the spokesperson said Iran would continue its actions until its demands are met. He added that the conflict has affected the credibility of US operations in the region.
The Iranian Armed Forces also issued warnings to Gulf countries. Officials urged regional states to remove US forces from their bases. The spokesperson warned that failure to do so could lead to further attacks on those facilities.
Reports also suggested that Iranian forces are monitoring US personnel who have moved to hotels. Tehran considers these locations as extensions of US presence in the region.
The spokesperson claimed that advanced US military equipment is no longer secure. He specifically mentioned concerns regarding the safety of F-35 fighter jets. These claims point to a possible shift in the balance of military power.
Another key point raised was the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz. The spokesperson indicated that control over this vital route may be changing. This could have wider implications for global trade and energy supply.
The situation remains tense as both sides continue to exchange strong statements. Independent confirmation of the claims has not been provided so far. Analysts say the coming days will be critical in determining the direction of the conflict.
