According to the IRGC Commander Amir Ali Hajizade, at least four military bases were involved in the operation.
U.S. forces used drones that climbed from a military base in Kuwait to eliminate the commander of the Al-Quds special unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, elite units of the Iranian Armed Forces), Kassem Suleimani. This was stated by the Commander of the IRGC Air and Space Forces, General Amir Ali Hajizade.
“The Americans used a variety of functions to kill Suleimani,” Tasnim quoted him as saying on Thursday. – [For this purpose], MQ-9 drones were raised in the region, and most of them took off from Ali al-Salam base in Kuwait.
According to the general, “the Iranian military was surprised, as many of the heavily armed planes were also flown in the air and Tehran did not understand what their targets were. “There were at least four military bases involved in the operation,” he added.
