IRGC strikes and claims

Iran’s IRGC said a joint operation and “synergy of the Navy and the IRGC Aerospace Force” in “Operation Vade Sadegh 4” with the code “Ya Sahib al-Zaman Adrekni” was carried out in a wave it described as “dedicated to the media martyrs.”

The IRGC announcement said missiles “Khorramshahr 4” and “Qadr” struck “25 targets in Haifa and Tel Aviv in the heart of the occupied territories.”

The same IRGC statement claimed an Aerospace Force drone unit carried out an “effective strike” against “a broad range of American bases in the region,” and said IRGC Navy units struck “six support hangars of American terrorists at the Al-Hud base.”

In the announcement, the IRGC also said it notified vessels in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman to report suspicious naval activity via Channel 16 to an IRGC Navy station for “immediate investigation and control.”

Explosions in Tehran and Alborz

Nour News said that in the continuation of “American–Zionist attacks,” an explosion occurred at “Khajir” and another at “the Cement Three-Way in Tehran” in the early hours of Saturday morning.

In Alborz Province, Ghodratollah Seif, the Deputy Governor for Political, Security, and Administrative Affairs, said a four-story building was struck and that the structure with eight residential units was “completely demolished.”

Seif said the number of injured was “eight” and rejected rumors, stressing that “no military or political figures resided in this building; it was strictly a residential building.”

Nour News added that in Tehran’s Majideh district a two-story building was struck and that “a family living with their three-month-old baby were tragically martyred.”

U.S. base damage and escalation

BBC Persian Verify reported that during “the 39 days of the war Iran attacked 20 U.S. bases” or bases where American forces are stationed in eight countries, while noting that “some analysts have estimated up to 28 bases.”

The BBC said a U.S. Department of Defense official declined to comment on the findings, citing “operational security considerations,” and described U.S. efforts to limit access to satellite imagery by asking Planet Labs to restrict release of new images for an indefinite period.

BBC Persian Verify also said Iran’s attacks have killed “seven U.S. service members in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia” and wounded “140 U.S. service members,” with “eight of whom are listed as 'seriously wounded.'”

Mehr News Agency, citing satellite imagery, said Iran’s Saturday morning strikes on a U.S. base in Kuwait “fully destoryed a drone hanagar there,” and stated that the drone hangar at the “Ali al-Salem Base” was “completely destroyed.”
