The Iranian Army says it has targeted US military helicopters and personnel stationed at al-Minhad Air Base in the UAE with dozens of kamikaze drones in reprisal for a fatal US strike on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

From AI-powered missile guidance and satellite image processing to coordinated drone swarms and integrated air-defense systems, Iran is rapidly embedding artificial intelligence across its aerospace sector for both military and civilian applications

The US military's hasty withdrawal from Erbil, officially framed as a scheduled redeployment, was actually driven by Iranian precision strikes that destroyed Patriot air-defense systems there – as confirmed by satellite imagery – exposing the vulnerability of advanced US defenses to low-cost drones and forcing a strategic retreat that marks a victory for Iranian deterrence.

On July 22, IRGC carried out precision strikes on King Faisal air base in Jordan, destroying eight MQ-9 drones, two helicopters, and F-15 support facilities, killing a number of US military personnel and exposing vulnerabilities in the American regional military infrastructure.

Iran's precision strikes on US bases in Jordan under Operation Nasr-2 have reshaped regional equations, exposed American-Zionist military integration on Arab soil, inflicted significant casualties, and demonstrated capabilities that signal the end of US military hegemony across West Asia.

The IRGC's strike on the Al-Tanf base in Syria, carried out as part of the 11th wave of Operation Nasr 2 in response to continued US aggression, destroyed US radar systems and helicopters and resulted in multiple American casualties, signaling Iran's ability to target US military assets across the region.

The chief of Aerospace Force of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has vowed that the Islamic Republic will proceed with its “effective” and “targeted” retaliatory attacks until calm is restored across the country.
