A spokesman for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says more than 650 US military personnel have been killed and wounded within the first two days of Iran’s retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 by Iranian Armed Forces against US military installations and warships across West Asia.
“In the first two days of the war, 650 American troops were killed and wounded,” Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini stated on Tuesday.
He emphasized that it was natural for the US military to deny or conceal the casualties; nevertheless, Iranian intelligence as well as all field reports confirm the toll.
He said that the Iranian strikes, which included missile and drone attacks, against US naval assets and military headquarters in Bahrain, forced the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier to flee towards the southern Indian Ocean.
Obviously I want to believe but I find it hard to.
With any claim from any side in any war, I only take it seriously when there’s a photo or video that holds up to scrutiny. I can confidently say they’ve had drone/missile strikes in densely developed areas but that’s the only thing backed up so far from the footage I’ve seen. The logistics of dealing with two destroyers’ worth of casualties should be noticeable in the coming days if that’s accurate.
