An Iranian military source told the country's Nor News agency that missile and drone units will begin a 'massive' attack on US military bases in the region within minutes, in response to what it called American aggression. The source warned the response would be decisive and regrettable for the US and its allies.
At 00:59 Jerusalem, an Iranian military source told the Nor News agency that missile and drone units will begin a 'massive' attack on US military bases in the region 'within minutes,' the most specific timeframe issued in a night of escalating threats.
The warning follows a flurry of threats at 23:34 Jerusalem from multiple Iranian state-aligned sources. The sequence began with a security official threatening a 'powerful attack' via the Mahr agency, followed by state media announcing a large-scale operation, and then reports from Noor News and Nur News citing military sources warning of a 'massive attack.' A second military source confirmed the threat, and a senior military official later said any base that enabled the US strikes would be hit. The threats culminated in sources naming US bases in Bahrain and the UAE as specific targets.
The Zioneer reported at 00:02 Jerusalem that a senior American official confirmed the US had struck IRGC bases and drone positions in Bushehr, southern Iran. At 00:29 Jerusalem, Iranian sources claimed US bases in Bahrain and the UAE would be hit hard in the coming hours. The Zioneer had previously reported that US officials expected Iranian retaliation against American bases.
As of 00:59 Jerusalem, no attack has been confirmed. The threat remains unverified, and the actual timing, scope, and targets remain unclear.
