Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims it carried out a deadly attack on US forces in Dubai, saying more than 100 American marines were killed during a strike on US infantry positions in the Gulf region. According to the IRGC, the attack is part of the 17th wave of its military campaign known as Operation True Promise 4, which also included missile strikes toward Bahrain and drone attacks on US military positions in Kuwait.

The Middle East conflict has entered a dangerous new phase. U.S. military operations targeting Iranian leadership and strategic assets have resulted in confirmed American casualties, marking a sobering moment for Washington’s campaign. At the same time, Israel faces intense missile fire, with civilian areas struck and search operations underway. President Trump has escalated rhetoric following coordinated strikes on senior Iranian figures, calling for internal change within Iran. The fallout has triggered retaliatory missile launches aimed at U.S. positions in the Gulf, including bases in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. The U.S. Navy has pushed back against Iranian claims regarding damage to the USS Abraham Lincoln. WATCH
