Video: Iran strikes US base, says ‘until last American soldier leaves the region’

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released video footage Monday showing multiple ballistic missiles being launched in what Tehran says was a strike on a U.S. military facility it accused of being involved in an earlier attack on a telecom tower on Sirik Island.
The footage, posted by IRGC channels, shows successive missile flights with bright flames and thick smoke trails arcing through the sky.
Several launches are captured from different angles, accompanied by on-screen text and imagery intended to underscore the message behind the operation.
Iranian officials said the missiles targeted a “U.S. base used in the attack on a telecom tower on Sirik Island,” but the Iranian statement did not identify the specific installation hit.
The video concludes with a striking propaganda frame: an image of U.S. President Donald Trump with visible bruising, shown holding a phone, overlaid by the slogan in both English and Persian, “Until the last American soldier leaves the region.”
The poster-like ending appeared intended to signal continued Iranian resolve and defiance toward the U.S. military presence in the Middle East.
The IRGC has in recent months increasingly used public footage of missile and drone operations to broadcast deterrence and domestic political messaging.
The release comes amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington, with Iranian leaders framing strikes and displays of force as retaliation for what they describe as hostile acts against Iranian assets and interests in the region.
