The U.S. Central Command for the Middle East stated that American and Israeli strikes in Iran targeted command facilities belonging to the "Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," air defense capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, as well as military airports.
The Central Command clarified that, following the "first wave" of strikes carried out by the United States and its partners, it "was able to repel hundreds of Iranian attacks using missiles and drones," confirming no casualties among Americans.
The statement added, "No deaths or injuries were recorded among U.S. forces. The damage to U.S. facilities was minor and did not affect operations."
On the other hand, the command announced that the U.S. military used, for the first time in a combat situation, "single-use, low-cost" attack drones during these air strikes in Iran.
The statement said that "Task Force Scorpion Strike used single-use, low-cost attack drones for the first time in combat," referring to a U.S. force unit established last December.
The command mentioned that this military operation, dubbed "Epic Fury," began early Saturday morning at the order of U.S. President Donald Trump and aims to "dismantle the security system of the Iranian regime, prioritizing sites that pose an immediate threat."
