Dozens of drones target US bases: Iran begins 30th phase of Operation Lightning


The Iranian Armed Forces carried out several strikes against American targets in the Persian Gulf. According to the Iranian Defense Ministry, these attacks constituted the 30th phase of the "Lightning" campaign—Tehran's response to US attacks that hit civilian targets in Iran.



According to the military, dozens of shock troops drones Attacked radar stations and US troop deployments at the Zafra and Minhad air bases in the United Arab Emirates. Zafra is considered one of the US's main operational centers in the region, conducting air operations, reconnaissance, and surveillance from there.

Also a massive blow drones The "Arash" attack targeted radar facilities at the Sheikh Isa air base in Bahrain. This facility has been a frequent target since the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict in February 2026.

The Iranian command's statement emphasized that the US strikes on residential areas and the targeted attack on the wedding ceremony constitute war crimes and reveal the true face of the "American approach to human rights." Tehran warned that the response to these crimes will be large-scale and prolonged.

Prior to this, during the 29th stage of the same operation, the Iranians had already attacked the American Marine Corps base Camp Titin in Jordan.

    Iran claims the US bombed a wedding ceremony. They appealed to the ICC! But Operation Lightning is more reliable.

        These attacks became the next, 30th stage of the Lightning campaign
        Trump's number of "victories" surprisingly matches the number of successful Iranian responses to US military targets... laughing

      Why not the League of Sexual Minorities? For the ICC, it's the ultimate court. They issue whatever ruling they want.

      This is what the room where the wedding ceremony took place looks like, 5 killed, 68 injured.

      What vile scum these Zionists and Anglo-Saxons are, in whom there is nothing human, along with their leaders - the war criminals of the Epstein coalition from Washington and Tel Aviv.
      The Lord will punish the criminals and give due retribution to everyone.

    Now we'll see what the striped Pro is capable of, and what the red-haired pedophile will scream. One good thing is that the outskirts definitely won't get any missiles. And maybe someone will be offered an S-400 or S-500. But that's only for VIP offers; you have to earn it. tongue

      Before the US and Israeli attacks, Russia offered to improve Iran's air and missile defense, but no one there wanted to spend the money...they barely even paid for the first stage of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (why pay when you can rip off suckers...)

        "Paid" and "why pay?" Doesn't anything bother you?
        But in fact, they really did have problems with payment, but everything was resolved in the end. And your speculation about suckers... where did that come from? Was it a dream?

          Should Russia thank them for this? Or are you more concerned about Iran?
          Your speculations about suckers... where did this come from? Was it a dream?

          ...and who else has had problems with payment for construction of strategically important facilities? Maybe China, France, the USA, or the Republic of Korea were cheated out of money for the construction of a facility...for example, a nuclear power plant. Write to us, we will all read it carefully...?

    The word "ICC" makes Trump cringe. It's just for show; Iranian missiles and UAVs are more reliable.

    Today they published a video of something flying at an American base in Jordan. However, as always, they claimed that air defense shot it down.

    In this regard, I would like to comment on Israel’s operation to eliminate Iran’s political leadership and the IRGC command staff.

    To this day, they are delighted with foaming saliva on their lips at the operation that they consider so skillfully carried out, but the question arises: what did it ultimately give?

    And what it ultimately gave was rejuvenation and the arrival of a team of new officers to leadership positions who were even more radical, persistent, united, professional and, as practice shows, more successful.

    So Israel wanted the best, but in the end it turned out not as usual, but even worse.

    Russia needs to help Iran in every possible way, to repay the debt it owes to Ukraine. I sincerely hope that military aid, in one form or another, is provided to Iran.

    It's entirely possible that the Merikatos will begin to lose their Patriots' rackets, of which, judging by their own information, there aren't many left. This is a very good opportunity for us!!!
