General Akraminia details rapid missile and drone response against US bases as Washington presence called strategically desperate.

Iran's Army spokesman, Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia, has called on the United States to accept the consequences of attacking an independent country and to withdraw its forces from West Asia. In statements made on Friday, the commander argued that a US withdrawal would strengthen regional security while easing the problems confronting the American people.

The remarks come amid a prolonged cycle of hostilities between Washington and Tehran that has included a 40-day war, a violated ceasefire understanding, and two subsequent rounds of conflict. Akraminia's statements signal Iran's firm stance that continued US military presence is the root cause of instability in the region.

Details of Iran's Military Response

Speaking in a live televised interview on Friday, Akraminia outlined new details of the Iranian armed forces' response to recent US aggression against southern Iran. He said Iran carried out missile and drone attacks against four US bases in three regional countries just 15 minutes after Washington's first attack earlier this week.

The spokesman identified three leading characteristics of the operation: its speed, its intensity and firepower, and its geographical scope. He described the volume of fire as highly crushing and said the operation spanned several Arab countries, with US bases struck from Jordan to the United Arab Emirates.

Timeline of Recent Hostilities

The United States and Israel waged what Iran describes as an illegal war of aggression against Iran on February 28. Forty days later, on April 8, the adversaries were forced to accept a ceasefire amid Iran's resistance and retaliatory operations.

On June 17, Tehran and Washington signed the 14-point Islamabad memorandum of understanding, which called for an end to hostilities, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and further negotiations toward a final agreement. However, Washington violated all provisions of the understanding, prompting Iran to deliver a firm response. The region has since witnessed two rounds of wars in July and early September, with the US striking Iran's military and civilian centers and Iran responding by hitting US-run bases across West Asia.

Weapons Systems and Operational Impact

According to field reports and satellite imagery cited by the spokesman, the operations were very effective and destructive, inflicting extensive damage on targeted bases. Akraminia said the operations employed Fath (Conquest) surface-to-surface missiles alongside Arash-2 kamikaze drones.

Both systems were equipped with artificial intelligence and up-to-date technologies, making them extremely difficult for the enemy to intercept and enabling the projectiles to reach their targets easily. The spokesman said radar facilities and air defense systems at US bases were destroyed, which he claimed has opened the way for Iranian missiles and drones to reach the occupied territories.

Strategic Assessment and Outlook

Akraminia said the United States is suffering from strategic desperation, pointing to Washington's calls for Iranians to take to the streets and its return to sanctions and blockade after a 40-day war. He argued that the US has failed to force the Iranian people into submission over the past 25 to 30 years.

The commander reiterated that the appropriate solution for the US is to accept realities, pay the costs, and leave the region, adding that a withdrawal would bring the American people closer to prosperity.
