"Over the past few hours, two hideouts in Dubai have been identified and struck by missiles and precision-guided UAVs operated by the brave fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force: the first was sheltering over 400 [American soldiers], and the second more than 100. They suffered very heavy damage," Zolfaghari was quoted as saying by Iran’s state television and radio broadcaster.
Iran has been striking Israeli territory and US military targets in the Middle East in response to a joint military operation launched by the United States and Israel on February 28. The first day of military action saw Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei killed and a girls’ school in southern Iran bombed. Iran puts the death toll at over 1,300.
