Iran's military says it has taken revenge for the US killing of a wedding party that killed more than 50 people. Hours after the Iranian missile attack targeted US military installations in Jordan, the Iranian military officially announced a major attack targeting the Kingdom of Bahrain’s Sheikh Isa Air Base. The base is said to be one of the most important and largest strategic bases hosting US and Fifth Fleet forces in the region. The attack was in response and retaliation for a US airstrike in Iran yesterday that killed more than 4 people and injured more than 50, targeting several places in Iranian cities where brides were turned into funerals after US planes bombed an Iranian wedding. Drones strike and strike command centers The Iranian attack was part of what the Iranian military's 29th phase of public relations division called Operation Thunderbolt. A large number of suicide drones were used to penetrate air defense systems and succeeded in penetrating the base's airspace. The attacks were aimed directly at sensitive radar installations and a concentration of US forces and advisers at the base, he said. Importance of Sheikh Isa Airport Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain is a critical artery for US military operations in the Arabian Gulf. It contains advanced equipment for the repair and maintenance of helicopters and other military assets operating across borders. In addition, it serves as the primary hub for tracking and operating reconnaissance aircraft and their unmanned counterparts covering critical waterways such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Targeting it in this way represents a move aimed at completely disabling Washington’s radar and intelligence capabilities, he says. Tehran's Attack Motivation and Dispatch The Iranian statement clarified that the large-scale offensive was a “direct and decisive response” to heavy air strikes launched by US forces on Iran’s southern coast, targeting the Bandar Abbas, Jask, and Chabahar positions. The statement now emphasized that Iran’s transition strategy relies on open confrontation and immediate and decisive action wherever US military forces are stationed. The threat of violent clashes and a new round of conflict The Iranian military ended its briefing by issuing strongly worded messages, emphasizing on its part that its forces are ready to continue operating in aggressive and destructive tactics, with further actions providing a broad and fierce response to any future US move defending or in full blast.
