Tehran:US bases in the region have suffered serious damage, according to Iranian Army spokesperson Brigadier General Mohammad Akrami-Nia. This damage has reportedly impacted the support and supply operations of American forces, creating challenges for Washington. According to the Islamic Republic News Agency, Brigadier General Akrami-Nia made these remarks while responding to questions about US movements in the region and the prospect of a long-term conflict. He noted that Iran's Armed Forces have updated their military strategies and equipment, drawing lessons from past conflicts to confront potential future threats more effectively. The spokesperson stated that aerial, satellite, and field observations confirmed the extensive damage to US bases, with many considered beyond repair. This situation has forced the United States to source supplies from outside the region, and US soldiers are reportedly facing psychological issues as a result. Akrami-Nia criticized the US for lacking a clear withdrawal strateg y and highlighted contradictions in their statements regarding the ceasefire and ongoing military actions. He warned that Washington could resort to unpredictable measures due to its confusion. Discussing Iran's military strategy, Akrami-Nia stated that Iran had shifted towards preemptive warfare, adhering to principles of proportionality, immediacy, and necessity. He emphasized that preemptive actions would only occur in response to imminent threats. The spokesperson also accused the United States of prioritizing Israel's security over regional interests, describing Israel as a common enemy. He asserted that Iran had not targeted regional countries during the recent conflict, focusing instead on US bases. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Akrami-Nia claimed that Iran had taken control of the strategic waterway, significantly reducing maritime traffic and oil shipments. He mentioned an agreement with Oman on vessel routes, though he accused the United States of obstructing its implementation. Finally, Akram i-Nia expressed Iran's readiness to sustain a long-term conflict, citing the experience gained from the Iran-Iraq War. He contrasted this with what he described as the US military's costly and equipment-focused approach, drawing parallels between past and present US leadership misjudgments about Iran's strength and resilience.
