According to the spokesperson, one of these sites was situated in Dubai, housing over 400 U.S. personnel, while the second location contained more than 100 troops. Iranian statements indicate that both locations were struck with precision-guided missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles deployed by the Aerospace Force and Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
