This included command and control communication infrastructures and missile defense systems, utilizing the precise Khayber Shekan, Emad, and Qadr systems."

He said: "In this wave, the Al Udeid base, housing American terrorists, was powerfully attacked on the night of the 27th of Ramadan with the solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile 'Dhu al-Fiqar', the liquid-fuel 'Qiam' missile, and intelligent and destructive drones, successfully receiving a crushing blow with divine grace."

Colonel Zolfaghari added: "Furthermore, the IRGC Navy, in a combined missile and drone operation, destroyed several hangars of American terrorist fighters at 'Sheikh Isa' and 'Al Dhafra' airbases using cruise missiles."

He concluded by saying: "The Al Dhafra airbase, which has been the origin of attacks by American invaders and terrorists on Iranian islands in recent days, has experienced a severe reduction in its operational capacity following this assault."
