DUBAI - At least seven personnel were killed in U.S. strikes on an Iranian military base in Bampur overnight, Iran's army said on Wednesday, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

The army said the strikes were intended to cause maximum casualties, with 13 missiles hitting a guesthouse, guard posts and accommodation facilities at the base near the southeastern city of Iranshahr.

It added that a number of personnel were also wounded and promised a "decisive response" to the attack.
