The Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya has claimed that Iran conducted a series of rocket, missile and drone attacks against two hideouts of American forces located in Dubai.

According to a spokesperson for the headquarters, who was quoted by Fars News Agency, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace and Naval forces were behind the operation. The strikes targeted two separate sites where US personnel had taken refuge, with one site holding over four hundred people and the second containing more than one hundred.

The spokesperson reported that the attacks, which involved rockets and pinpoint suicide drones, resulted in very heavy casualties, including hundreds killed among the American forces. Ambulances reportedly spent hours transferring the dead and wounded from the affected areas.

The claimed military action was presented as a response to the presence of US military forces and their activities in the region. The spokesperson also issued a warning about the possibility of more serious consequences should the US continue with its current course of action in the area.

As of the time of the report, no reaction had been issued by US officials regarding the incident.

Reliability assessment

Single source with direct attribution to named spokesperson of Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya (via Fars News Agency) providing concrete details including locations (Dubai hideouts/hotels), approximate numbers of people present (400+ and 100+), method of attack (rockets and suicide drones), and context. Per guidelines, "X said Y" from a named public figure/spokesperson is treated as reliable and attributable regardless of topic sensitivity or lack of independent confirmation.

The source language tilts sensational, leaning on hyperbole or charged phrasing. Bakhtar News: 'with hundreds killed' in title - hyperbole for clickbait impact; 'very heavy casualties' - emotional amplification of unverified Iranian claims; specific figures like 'over 400' and 'over 100' - presents extraordinary unsubstantiated details as fact to sensationalize.
