TEHRAN (dpa-AFX) – Iran’s air force says it has fired 700 rockets at targets in Israel and US bases in the Gulf region since the start of the war. In addition, around 3,600 combat drones were launched for kamikaze operations, the Iranian online portals “Tabnak” and “Avash” reported, citing a military spokesman for the Revolutionary Guard. General Ali Mohammed Naini, spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards, gave an interview to Iranian state television on Sunday. The Fars news agency, which is close to the elite force, also quoted from it. Naini said that many of the missiles fired were from old stocks.
