USA TODAY
Tens of thousands of American troops in the Middle East were the targets of Iranian missiles after President Donald Trump launched an attack.
No American servicemembers were killed or wounded in a wave of attacks Iran launched at U.S. bases across the Middle East in retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli missile strikes on the country on Feb. 28, the U.S. military announced hours later.
The military "successfully defended" against hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones, and there were "no reports of U.S. casualties or combat-related injuries," U.S. Central Command said in a Feb. 28 statement posted to X. "Damage to U.S. installations was minimal and has not impacted operations," the statement said.
There are between 30,000 and 40,000 U.S. troops in the region on any given day, Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for Central Command, previously told USA TODAY.
A service center for the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, which is headquartered in Bahrain, was attacked with missiles, according to the country's communication center. Video verified by multiple news outlets showed the moment a missile struck near the naval base, leaving a billowing cloud of smoke.
The United States attacked Iran roughly an hour after midnight on Feb. 28, hitting targets to "dismantle the Iranian regime’s security apparatus," including the command and control facilities for its Revolutionary Guard Corps, "air defense capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and military airfields," according to the statement.
