IRGC targets hideout of US Fifth Fleet commanders in Bahrain

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has targeted the hideout of commanders of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain as part of a fresh wave of Operation True Promise 4.

In a statement released on Monday, the IRGC’s Public Relations Department said the elite force’s Navy managed to destroy four gathering sites and facilities belonging to the US and the Israeli regime with strong and rapid strikes as part of the 87th wave of the operation.

In a joint undertaking, the IRGC’s intelligence and operational fighters using precision missiles also demolished the control and command center of the US terrorist forces set up outside the Minhad base in the United Arab Emirates, the statement said.
More than 200 middle-rank American commanders and officers were present at the center, it said.

In another combined operation, it added, the hideout of commanders of the Fifth Fleet outside the main compound in Bahrain was accurately hit by drones when commanders were holding a meeting.

Meanwhile, an Israeli-owned container ship, called Express Room, was also struck in missile strikes by the IRGC Navy, according to the statement.

Iranian forces also hit warning radars belonging to US terrorist forces, which were used for guiding F-16 warplanes and were stationed outside a base in Saudi Arabia.

The IRGC dedicated its successful operation to Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, who was martyred in US-Israeli strikes.

The criminal US-Israeli aggression on Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders.

The Iranian armed forces have responded decisively by launching daily missile and drone operations targeting locations in the Israeli occupied territories as well as US military bases and assets across the region.
