Iran reveals the number of "destroyed" American bases in the region and claims that the Revolutionary Guard has obtained new equipment

The chief advisor to the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Brigadier General Than Jamal Shakermi, claimed that Iran was able to “destroy” 16 American bases in the region, as he put it, highlighting that Iranian forces have acquired new equipment that enables them to include remote American bases on the list of targets.

This came according to what was reported by the official Iranian news agency, where Shakermi said: “16 American bases in the region, which were charged with surveillance, reconnaissance, and operational and intelligence planning against the Islamic Republic of Iran, were completely destroyed in the third imposed war... and in light of obtaining new equipment, remote American bases also became within the circle of Iran’s targets.”

He continued: "The enemy was delusional, as he thought that by assassinating the leader of the revolution and the country's leaders and scholars, and attacking the industrial and military infrastructure, he would overthrow the Islamic regime. However, this military aggression did not lead to the overthrow of the Islamic regime. Rather, the Americans are today in the Strait of Hormuz on the verge of collapse and destruction."

He added: “The armed forces of the Islamic Republic have reached the level of parity, and even in some areas, the level of military superiority over the enemies... Despite the enemy’s continuous bombardment, the valiant and brave fighters of the Islamic Republic of Iran have stood firm in the field and sacrificed their lives at the launch pads in defense of Islamic Iran.”
