Iran’s IRGC claims scores of US soldiers killed, vessels sunk in attack
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced an attack on six tactical vessels operated by what it called the “terrorist US military” in the Persian Gulf waters, adding that a large number of American forces were killed in the process.
“In continuation of the 84th wave of Operation True Promise 4, the IRGC naval units conducted a hybrid operation against US and Israeli terrorists deployed in al-Shoyoukh port as well as Dubai’s coasts and port, hitting downhearted American troops and their tactical hardware precisely,” the IRGC public relations department said in a statement on Friday.
