Desk Correspondent , Tehran - As the US-Iran conflict marks exactly one month since US-Israeli strikes ignited the powder keg, Iran's IRGC unleashed a bombshell claim of sinking three American landing craft and torching others in a massive drone-missile barrage during Operation True Promise 4 in the Persian Gulf alleging heavy Marine casualties near Kuwait and Dubai ports, with no US confirmation amid escalating regional chaos that now draws in Yemen's Houthis firing on Israel.
In the 84th wave of Operation True Promise 4, Iran's IRGC Navy hammered six US landing craft utility (LCUs) at Kuwait's al-Shoyoukh port and Dubai coasts with indigenous Qadr 380 cruise missiles in a hybrid drone missile blitz, boldly claiming three vessels sank outright while the rest burned fiercely amid "downhearted American troops" and shredded tactical hardware; Iran's Hyderabad consulate thundered on X: “LARGE NUMBER OF US TERRORIST MARINES KILLED by drone missile mass strike,” as IRGC separately targeted a US support vessel at a "considerable" distance from Oman's Salalah port. Meanwhile, over two dozen US troops sustained injuries last week at Saudi Arabia's Prince Sultan air base from Iran's six ballistic missiles and 29 drones, Friday's barrage alone wounding 15 including five seriously (initial counts: 10 hurt, two critical), per AP sources as this US-Iran war, ignited by US-Israeli strikes on Tehran, grinds through Day 30 with no respite; President Trump paused strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure for five days, pushing the Strait of Hormuz reopening deadline to April 6 while noting "talks to end the war are going very well." Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis escalated further, claiming their first direct missile strike on Israel via Brig Gen Yahya Saree's Al-Masirah TV statement, building on prior Red Sea shipping mayhem from the Israel-Hamas conflict.
“In continuation of the 84th wave of Operation True Promise 4, the IRGC naval units conducted a hybrid operation against US and Israeli terrorists deployed in al-Shoyoukh port [Kuwait] as well as Dubai’s coasts and port, hitting downhearted American troops and their tactical hardware precisely... Given field reports, three of the combat vessels sank after the (retaliatory) strikes, whilst the rest are aflame,” IRGC declared via PressTV. With no US rebuttal, these unverified Gulf claims heighten fears of broader regional escalation.
