Iranian state media has just broadcasted a major announcement from the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters (often translated as the “Seal of the Prophets”), the unified combatant command of the Iranian Armed Forces. They are claiming a new, highly coordinated wave of drone and missile strikes across multiple countries in the Middle East.Here is the breakdown of the Iranian military’s claims, alongside the factual reality and international confirmations on the ground as of early March 2026:1.

The “Rahaum” Unit & Radar Station in the “Occupied Territories”Iran’s Claim: The headquarters announced successful strikes targeting a U.S. radar station and the “Rahaum” support unit within Israel (which Iran refers to as the occupied territories), specifically pointing to strategic facilities like the Sdot Micha airbase.The Reality: While Israel’s Arrow and Iron Dome systems have been intercepting mᴀssive barrages, there is growing concern over U.S. radar ᴀssets in the region. U.S. sources recently indicated that a $300 million AN/TPY-2 radar belonging to a U.S. THAAD missile defense system was likely destroyed by an Iranian strike—though that specific radar was located at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, not Israel.2. Downing of American MQ-9 Reaper Drones in BushehrIran’s Claim: The IRGC claims its integrated air defense systems successfully tracked and sH๏τ down two U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones over the Jam and Khormoj counties in the southern Bushehr province, with a third allegedly sH๏τ down over Tehran.

The Reality: This claim has heavy factual backing. U.S. officials (via CBS News) have confirmed the loss of at least three $34-million MQ-9 Reaper drones in recent days. While one was reportedly lost to “friendly fire” by Qatari forces in the chaos of the airspace, others were downed off the coast of Iran. The IRGC has even released chilling mid-air footage of a drone intercept to back up their claims.3. Strikes on Camp Al-Adiri in KuwaitIran’s Claim: Iranian naval and drone forces claim to have launched a mᴀssive attack on American gathering points and equipment warehouses at Camp Al-Adiri in Kuwait, as well as bases in the UAE (Minhad).The Reality: Kuwait is an active target zone. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense confirmed that its national air defenses recently intercepted hostile missiles breaching its airspace, causing falling debris but no reported casualties in this specific incident.

However, the U.S. is taking the threat extremely seriously; the U.S. ordered the emergency evacuation of its embᴀssy in Kuwait City and the destruction of classified servers following the earlier tragic drone strike at the Port of Shuaiba that killed six U.S. Army Reserve soldiers.4. US Embᴀssy Logistics Camp at Baghdad AirportIran’s Claim: A drone successfully targeted a logistics support camp affiliated with the U.S. Embᴀssy near Baghdad International Airport (formerly Victory Base Complex).The Reality: Verified. Iraqi security sources confirmed that a drone struck a logistical support facility linked to the U.S. diplomatic mission near the airport.
While the U.S. technically withdrew combat forces from that specific base in 2025, the logistical node remains a prime target for Iran-backed Iraqi militias who have been dragged into the wider conflict.
