The 70th wave of retaliatory strikes against US and Israeli interests in the Gulf region and beyond targeted more than 55 locations, according to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
In a statement published by Iran’s English-language Press TV website, the IRGC described the latest wave of attacks as resulting in “loud explosions, bursts of fire, and columns of smoke” throughout the targeted areas.
Several countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Israel, reported deploying air defence systems to intercept attacks involving drones and missiles early on Saturday.
Reports also emerged that Iran launched at least two mid-range ballistic missiles targeting the joint US-UK military base in the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia.

Σε μια κίνηση με ισχυρό γεωπολιτικό μήνυμα, το Ιράν εκτόξευσε δύο βαλλιστικούς πυραύλους μέσου βεληνεκούς κατά της στρατηγικής βάσης Ντιέγκο Γκαρσία στον Ινδικό Ωκεανό, επιχειρώντας να πλήξει άμεσα αμερικανικά συμφέροντα πολύ πέρα από τη Μέση Ανατολή.
ReplyDeleteΣύμφωνα με Αμερικανούς αξιωματούχους, που επικαλείται η Wall Street Journal, οι δύο πύραυλοι δεν έπληξαν τη βάση. Ο ένας παρουσίασε βλάβη εν πτήσει, ενώ για τον δεύτερο εκτοξεύθηκε αναχαιτιστικός πύραυλος SM-3 από αμερικανικό πολεμικό πλοίο — χωρίς να έχει επιβεβαιωθεί αν σημειώθηκε επιτυχής αναχαίτιση.
