Al Mayadeen| July 25, 2026

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesperson Hussein Mohebbi outlined US military losses during fifteen days of retaliatory Iranian strikes on US bases across the region, in response to US aggression on the country launched from these bases.

In remarks to Tasnim, Mohebbi detailed that Iranian strikes destroyed a range of fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles.

US aircraft losses:

  • 11 stationed fighter jets and helicopters
  • 17 reconnaissance and operational UAVs
  • Eight intact units
  • Eight aerial refueling tankers
  • Four heavy military helicopters
  • One F-15 fighter jet struck inside a hardened shelter
  • One P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft
  • One C-17 Globemaster heavy transport aircraft

US radar, command infrastructure

The IRGC spokesperson said Iranian forces also inflicted significant damage on US military surveillance, air defense, and command infrastructure during the fighting, destroying multiple command-and-control centers, radar installations, air defense systems, and satellite communications assets.

  • Seven command-and-control centers
  • Six Patriot air defense radar units
  • Eight early warning and detection radar systems
  • Seven air defense missile radars, five long-range radar systems
  • Five specialized FPS and FPS-117 radar systems
  • Three air and maritime surveillance radars
  • Three satellite communications systems

US defense and logistics assets

Mohebbi also claimed that Iranian strikes caused extensive damage to military infrastructure at US bases, targeting aircraft shelters, drone facilities, hangars, and operational infrastructure used to support air operations.

  • Six MQ-9 Reaper drone hangars
  • Five fighter aircraft hangars and four hardened shelters
  • One F-15 fighter preparation hangar, one UAV hangar housing eight new drones
  • One P-8 aircraft hangar
  • Six flight and parking ramps
  • Four HIMARS mobile artillery rocket launchers
  • Four Patriots

Supply and intelligence facilities:

  • 17 depots containing weaponry
  • Naval vessel components
  • Aircraft spare parts were destroyed
  • 12 fuel storage tanks
  • One fuel dock
  • One aircraft carrier refueling platform

The losses also included, as per the spokesperson, six underground missile bunkers, six fighter and helicopter maintenance centers, two signals intelligence communication centers, one data intelligence hub, one artificial intelligence processing center, one Amazon data node, and one unmanned surface vehicle (USV) storage facility.

Over 200 American soldiers killed in strikes on US bases

Brig. Gen. Hossein Mohebi revealed that the US casualty figures from recent Iranian strikes were inaccurate, stressing that more than 200 American personnel were killed during Operation Nasr 2.

He described US reports on its military casualties as “an outright lie.” The IRGC spokesperson added that Iranian forces struck eight US military bases during the operation, including one facility containing 20 hangars that were destroyed.

According to Mohebi, more than 200 US personnel were killed in Operation Nasr 2, while the number of wounded was “far higher” than the reported death toll.

The spokesperson also urged the American public not to allow what he called their “dishonest military commanders” to mislead them about the extent of the losses.

He further called on the US government to allow journalists access to the strike locations so they could independently assess the damage and determine how many personnel had been killed.

It is worth noting that Iran has repeatedly said that US military bases and economic assets in the Gulf region have been used to launch acts of aggression against Iran, including strikes that have resulted in civilian casualties. In this context, Iran frames any action against such facilities as retaliation against hostile military activity originating from or enabled by those bases.
