Iran's IRGC Claims 650 US Casualties in Conflict; Official Facts Contradict Claim

Washington D.C. While Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed that 650 American soldiers were killed or wounded in the war against the United States, official facts show that this claim is false.

The Tasnim News Agency, close to the IRGC, quoted spokesperson Ali Mohammad Na'ini claiming that 650 American personnel were casualties in the first two days of the conflict. He also stated that 160 Americans were killed in the attack on the US military headquarters in Bahrain alone.

However, according to the US military, only 6 American soldiers' deaths have been confirmed so far. Of those, 3 were killed in the attack on the US military base in Kuwait. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) also denied claims such as a missile strike on the USS Abraham Lincoln, significant damage to US ships, and serious impact on regional bases.

Meanwhile, some media close to the IRGC claimed that US fighter jets that crashed in Kuwait were shot down by Iran. However, it is reported that these materials were removed after the reality emerged. Analysts say that since informational warfare intensifies from both sides during wartime, such claims need to be evaluated cautiously until independently verified.
