Iranian army spokesperson Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia stated that the US attempt to weaken Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz was swiftly answered within 15 minutes. The statement, carried by IRNA, detailed Iran's response to US strikes on Sirik Island on August 30th. In just 15 minutes, Iran launched its first missiles and drones, targeting four US bases in the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait, according to IRNA.
The Iranian Army utilized advanced Fath surface-to-surface missiles and Arash-2 combat drones equipped with artificial intelligence and new systems, making them difficult for the enemy to intercept. Akraminia emphasized that Iran is constantly modernizing its equipment, as previously announced, and is employing asymmetric and combined tactics in its operations.
Iran's military doctrine has shifted towards preemptive operations, inspired by lessons from the 12-day and 40-day wars, and based on international law, according to Akraminia. Iran has carried out preemptive attacks on US bases in Jordan, Syria, and Iraq's Kurdistan region, and will continue to do so whenever threats are perceived, he added.
The spokesman asserted that given the improved missile and drone routes, any aggression by the Zionist regime would be targeted more easily, faster, and decisively than before.
