Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed Monday that its strikes on US military sites and bases in the region killed 200 American service members and wounded many more during the latest round of hostilities.
Speaking to Iran's Press TV, an IRGC spokesperson said Iranian military assessments indicated that the attacks resulted in the deaths of 200 US troops, while a larger number were injured. The claim could not be independently verified, and the United States has not commented on the figures.
The spokesperson also accused the United States of committing "war crimes" by targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran, including hospitals and water facilities, describing the attacks as a blatant violation of international law.
The IRGC further warned that any country providing support for or facilitating military operations against Iran would be considered a "legitimate target" for the Iranian armed forces in any future response.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington following recent military exchanges, raising concerns over the risk of further escalation across the region.
