At least seven personnel were killed in US strikes on an Iranian military base in Bampur overnight, Iran’s army said on Wednesday, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The army said the strikes were intended to cause maximum casualties, with 13 missiles hitting a guesthouse, guard posts and accommodation facilities at the base near the southeastern city of Iranshahr.
It added that a number of personnel were also wounded and promised a “decisive response” to the attack.
Meanwhile, Iranian state television reported on Wednesday that Iran’s army and the Revolutionary Guards carried out separate attacks on US targets in Jordan and Kuwait after US forces struck the Islamic republic.
The army said it targeted the Al Azraq base in Jordan with drones, state TV IRIB reported.
Separately, the Guards said they fired cruise missiles at a US military logistics centre at Mina Abdullah in Kuwait, stressing that the Hormuz strait would remain closed “until the United States ends its acts of aggression”.
