In pre-dawn hours of Sept. 2, a Hatam al‑Anbiya Central Command spokesperson
said US forces recently carried out airstrikes on multiple military and
non‑military targets in southern Iran that caused civilian casualties. In
response, Iranian armed forces used missiles and drones to strike US bases in
the region; the statement said the attacks caused serious damage to US
infrastructure, weapons and equipment and inflicted a significant number of US
commanders and troops killed or wounded. Iran said military action against the
US will continue until the US "regrets" its actions and warned further US moves
would be met with a "heavier, broader, more destructive" response; any country
cooperating with US forces would face "dangerous consequences."
