Tensions in the region have sharply escalated as Iran claimed multiple large-scale attacks targeting the United States and its allies. Iranian state media reported that these strikes were part of the 91st wave of operations against enemy forces.
According to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln was hit by cruise missiles. In addition, Iran claims to have downed an enemy fighter jet near Qeshm Island and launched missile attacks on multiple Israeli cities. Iranian officials stated that Israel’s defense systems failed to intercept the missiles, causing explosions and fires in targeted areas.
Separately, Iranian authorities claimed a drone strike on the Al-Azraq military base in Jordan and targeted a major digital center in Bahrain.
