In a statement released on Thursday, the Iranian Army announced the second phase of drone operations, which targeted several strategic sites in the United States and United Arab Emirates (UAE). The military operation, described as retaliatory, aims to avenge the blood of Iranian martyrs killed in previous strikes attributed to “American-Zionist terrorist” forces on the country’s industrial centers.
According to the statement, advanced Arash-2 drones were dispatched to attack radar sites belonging to U.S. missile and combat drones in the region. Additionally, two aluminum industries in the UAE were targeted, which the Iranian Army claimed are crucial for the production of aircraft and military equipment. Furthermore, the headquarters of U.S. mechanized, armored, and helicopter brigades in Kuwait were also hit in the drone strikes.
Reports from Arab media outlets have confirmed explosions in Kuwait and the UAE, suggesting the accuracy and effectiveness of the Iranian drone operations. The Iranian Army’s statement emphasized that the attacks are designed to cripple the military capabilities of the U.S. and its allies in the region, which rely heavily on the UAE’s aluminum industries.
The UAE’s aluminum industries, according to the Iranian statement, are instrumental in manufacturing key components for U.S.-Israel forces, including F-35 fighters, missiles, tanks, and armored vehicles. This, the Iranian Army claims, is part of a broader strategy to undermine the military prowess of its adversaries.
The statement also served as a warning to the global community, highlighting the capabilities of the Iranian military and its willingness to take decisive action in defense of its interests. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the U.S. and its allies will respond to the Iranian drone strikes.
The escalation of tensions in the region has raised concerns among international observers, prompting calls for restraint and diplomacy to avoid further destabilization. However, the Iranian Army’s message is clear: it will not hesitate to defend its sovereignty and interests against any perceived threats.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the Iranian Army’s statement has sent a strong message to the U.S. and its allies, demonstrating the country’s military capability and its willingness to take bold action in defense of its interests.
