The military chief could be heard saying in a video, “Targeting the U.S. Navy’s terrorist Marine base at Ain Al-Assad in Anbar with ten destructive drones. And the base located in UAE, Al-Dhafra military base served as a gathering point for American terrorists housing over 160 American troops.”
The official further asserted that “U.S. casualties in this combined drone missile attack are estimated to exceed 100,” framing the strikes as payback amid escalating US-Israel operations that have reportedly killed at least 555 Iranians since late February 2026.
US military, however, confirm far lower losses: just 6 American service members killed and around 20 injured in the Iranian retaliation.
