Iranian media reports, citing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Crops (IRGC), say over 80 American troops were killed and some 200 wounded in the IRGC’s missile strikes on the US airbase in western Iraq.
“An informed source at the IRGC said over 80 American troops were killed and some 200 others wounded in the IRGC’s missile strikes on the US airbase of Ain al-Assad in Anbar province in western Iraq,” Mehr News reported on Wednesday.
As many as 20 critical points of the base were hit by 15 missiles and a significant number of UAVs and helicopters were destroyed, according to the source.
Despite the fact that Americans had been on high alert, their air defense was reportedly unable to respond.
“As many as 104 critical points in the US’ positions in the region have been identified, which would be destroyed upon the US’ first mistake,” the source added.
Citing a senior IRGC source, the state television also said Iran had 100 other targets in the region in its sights if Washington took any retaliatory measures, according to Al Jazeera.
IRGC reportedly warned on their Telegram channel that in the event that Iranian soil is bombed, they would launch a third wave of attacks to destroy Dubai and Haifa.
Meanwhile, the United States said Wednesday that while damage assessments were still underway, there were no reports of US casualties from the strike.
Missile strikes targeted two bases—Erbil in northern Iraq and the large Al Asad in western Iraq. According to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), U.S. official said on Wednesday that there appeared to be no U.S. casualties at either attack site, but added that “it's early” and said damage and missile assessments were still under way.
