US Central Command releases footage of airstrikes on Iranian naval vessels. Iran claims heavy US casualties in Dubai, warns Gulf nations against backing US-Israel.

"Trump and the commanders of the US Army must have fully understood that the region will turn into a graveyard for American soldiers - Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya Spokesperson"

Washington DC, March 28

The US Central Command on Saturday released the footage of its airstrikes on the Iranian naval vessels amid the heightened tensions in West Asia.

In a post on X, the US Central Command said, "For decades, Iranian naval vessels have threatened and harassed global shipping in regional waters, but those days are over."

Meanwhile, Iran has claimed that the US has suffered "heavy casualties" in the strikes on two US Army "hideouts" in Dubai, as the conflict in West Asia continues, the State Media Tasnim News Agency reported.

According to the news agency, a spokesperson for the Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya said that more than 500 US Army personnel were in these "hideouts", around 400 in the first and 100 in the second "hideout".

The IRGC identified these locations and carried out precise missiles and drone strikes and inflicted heavy casualties, as per the spokesperson's claims reported by the Tasnim News Agency.

The spokesperson claimed that the ambulances in Dubai were busy for hours transferring the dead and wounded Americans.

The spokesperson added, "Trump and the commanders of the US Army must have fully understood that the region will turn into a graveyard for American soldiers, and they will have no choice but to surrender to the divine will of the heroic people and the brave warriors of Islam."

Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned Gulf countries against backing the US-Israel. Pezeshkian advised countries not to allow the US-Israel to use their lands to strike Iran if they want to ensure development and security in their nation.

He reiterated that Iran will strongly retaliate against the US-Israel if the infrastructure or economic centres of Tehran are targeted.

"We have said many times that Iran doesn't carry out preemptive attacks, but we will retaliate strongly if our infrastructure or economic centres are targeted," Pezeshkian said in a post on X.

"To the countries of the region: If you want development and security, don't let our enemies run the war from your lands," he added.

The conflicting claims are confusing. US says they hit Iranian vessels, Iran claims they hit US hideouts in Dubai. Where is the truth? Media needs to verify before publishing such explosive claims. 🙏

India has good relations with both Iran and the US. Our foreign policy team has a tough job navigating this. We must maintain our strategic autonomy and call for peace. Jai Hind.

The Iranian president's warning to Gulf countries is significant. It puts pressure on nations like UAE and Saudi, who are also India's key partners. Stability in the region is crucial for global trade, including ours.

Respectfully, I think the article could do a better job of fact-checking the Iranian claims about "500 personnel" and "ambulances busy for hours." It reads like propaganda. Journalism should be more balanced.

Our Chabahar port project with Iran is too important for our connectivity to Afghanistan and Central Asia. Hope this tension doesn't derail it. 🤞
