Iran’s Fars news agency reports that during its 91st wave of missile and drone strikes, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it struck US flight engineers and a “pilots’ secret assembly point” at a base in the United Arab Emirates.

“From early morning on Friday, as part of the 91st wave of Operation True Promise 4, the IRGC Navy launched a fierce attack on military and infrastructure targets belonging to American-Zionist terrorists in the Southern countries of the Persian Gulf, using a swarm of ballistic and cruise missiles and destructive drones,” Fars reports, quoting an IRGC statement.

“In the second wave of this intelligence-led offensive operation, a secret gathering point of American flight engineers and fighter pilots outside an enemy base in the UAE was precisely hit using ballistic missiles. Field reports and heavy ambulance traffic indicate a high number of casualties,” it adds.

The IRGC further claims striking the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier with four cruise missiles.
