The Iranian military claimed that US forces launched a total of 13 missiles at the base's guesthouse, watchtowers, and barracks. The attacks injured several other soldiers, although the exact number is unclear. The Iranian military vowed a devastating retaliation for the US military's actions but did not specify a timeframe or method of response.
The new fighting, which erupted on July 12 between the US and Iran, has entered its fourth consecutive day, marking their most intense, widespread, and prolonged fighting since the ceasefire was enforced on April 8. Observers are concerned that, if not properly managed, the ceasefire scenario could completely collapse, and a full-scale conflict could erupt again.
