As the war between the US-Israel and Iran continues into its fifth day, retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, participating in a live broadcast, stated, "All our bases have been destroyed. Our port facilities have been obliterated. We are forced to retreat to Indian ports; this is what the navy is saying."
The war that started between the US-Israel and Iran continues on its fifth day, while military developments in the region are closely monitored by the global public. Following extensive attacks by the US and Israel on military and strategic targets in Iran, Iran responded with missile and drone strikes against US bases in the Gulf and regional targets.
LIVE BROADCAST REMARKS
During the ongoing conflicts, statements made by retired US Army Colonel and military analyst Douglas Macgregor in a live broadcast drew attention. Macgregor claimed that Iran's retaliatory attacks have severely damaged the US military infrastructure in the region.
"ALL OUR BASES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED"
In his assessment during the live broadcast, Macgregor stated, "All our bases have been destroyed. Our port facilities have been devastated. We are forced to retreat to Indian ports; this is what the navy is saying."
TENSION ESCALATES IN THE REGION
Following the extensive operations by the US and Israel against Iran, Iran also struck US and allied targets in the Gulf region. Reports indicate that some US military points in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates were targeted in Iran's attacks.
In the early days of the conflicts, the US military conducted attacks on hundreds of targets in Iran, while Iran responded with ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones. These mutual attacks have raised the possibility of a larger war in the Middle East.
US BASES IN THE REGION ARE IN THE CROSSHAIRS
The Iranian government had declared that US military bases in the region were "legitimate targets" in response to US and Israeli attacks. Following Iran's attacks targeting military facilities in the Gulf, it was reported that some US bases sustained damage and experienced military casualties.
Experts assess that if the conflict continues in this manner, the US military presence in the Middle East could be subjected to more attacks, and the war could escalate into a regional crisis.
