Iran fires missile salvoes at US bases in region

Iran has fired salvoes of solid- and liquid-fuel missiles at US bases in the region, according to a video released by Mehr News Agency (MNA) on September 9. The video, which was published on the agency's website, shows multiple missiles being launched in quick succession, apparently targeting US positions.

The report did not specify the exact locations of the bases targeted, but the video was released amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been involved in previous missile attacks on US assets in the region, including the January 2020 strike on Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq in response to the assassination of Qassem Soleimani.

Mehr News described the missiles as both solid- and liquid-fuel, indicating a mix of different missile types. The video does not show the impact or the aftermath of the strikes, and no immediate confirmation of damage or casualties was provided.

The timing of the release is notable, as it comes during ongoing negotiations and confrontations over Iran's nuclear program and its regional military activities. The United States has maintained a military presence in several countries in the Middle East, including Jordan, where the Al-Azraq base is located, though the report did not confirm that this base was among those targeted.

According to Mehr News, the video was released as part of its coverage of the missile attacks, but no further details were given about the operation's scope or the number of missiles fired. The agency's report is brief and does not include statements from Iranian officials or the US military.

This development is likely to escalate tensions further, as the US has previously warned of consequences for any attacks on its forces. The international community will be watching closely for any official responses from both sides.
