Army’s naval forces also launched drone attack on US troops stationed in a military base in the neighboring Kuwait while the ground forces attacked “American terrorists” in Iraq’s Kurdistan region.
Ready for long-term war
Army’s spokesman Mohammad Akraminia underlined that the Army is certainly ready for a long-term war.
Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said the US Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier was hit by the country’s drones.
“The aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, which had approached 340 kilometers from Iran's maritime borders in the Sea of Oman in a bid to manage the Strait of Hormuz, was hit by the IRGC drones, spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said.
The spokesperson added the ship rapidly fled with its destroyers, and is now thousand kilometers away from the region.
A few days ago the IRGC announced that the USS Abraham Lincoln has been targeted by four ballistic missiles as part of Operation True Promise 4.
Iran’s retaliatory attacks came as the US and Israel continued their brutal aggression against Iran on Friday, targeting many residential buildings, government’s offices and military bases across the country.
Government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said on Friday that 3090 residential buildings, 528 business centers and 13 health centers have been targeted by the US and Israel.
At least 1,230 people have been killed in the US-Israel aggression against Iran since February 28. Mohajerani said that 30 percent of the victims are children.
The US and Israeli armed forces began their aggression against Iran on February 28 by attacking 30 targets across the capital Tehran, killing several senior Iranian officials.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei was also martyred in the Saturday attack.
Since then, Iranian Armed Forces have swiftly and decisively retaliated against these strikes by launching barrages of missile and drones against the Israeli-occupied territories as well as US bases in region.
According to the IRGC, Iran’s retaliatory strikes left more than 680 casualties for American troops in various US bases in the first two days of the war.
Iranian officials have stressed that targeting US military bases in the region constitutes “legitimate self-defense.”
Referring to Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, they say that Iran has the legal right to defend itself against “acts of aggression” by the US or the Israeli regime.
