Unprecedented: The US has never faced such a massive attack on its bases

The United States has never faced such a massive attack on its military bases abroad before. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.

The attacks fell on several countries where US military bases are located at once, which sharply complicated the work of air defense and coordination of response actions. Some of the missiles fired by Iran were intercepted, but the scale of the strike remains unprecedented.

The US military was ready for attacks, according to the US.

Commenting on the footage of a massive fire at the US Navy base in Bahrain after the Iranian missile attack, one American official called the situation "active," while another said that the US military was in shelters during the attack.

The Ministry of Defense of Qatar, in turn, reported that the missiles aimed at the Al-Udeid base were intercepted.

According to the newspaper, before the start of the operation, the United States deployed additional air defense systems to bases in Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

As EADaily reported, a powerful fire is raging at the base of the 5th fleet of the US Navy in Bahrain after a missile strike from Iran. The corresponding frames are published on the Web. According to reports, the base is detonating fuel and ammunition.

For the first time, Iran attacked all US military bases in the Persian Gulf region at once in response to American and Israeli airstrikes on its nuclear and government facilities. This was reported by the Bbloomberg agency with reference to Iranian state media.
