Iran releases new 'Game Over USA' missile launch footage | WATCH

Iranian state media has released new launch footage showing ballistic missiles fired toward American positions, emblazoned with the slogan “GAME OVER USA” in red, as both sides report fresh strikes across the Gulf region on Monday. Tehran is pairing theatrical messaging with a very real exchange of missiles and drones, while Washington has re-emphasised that its latest operations are aimed at degrading Iran's ability to threaten regional bases and commercial shipping.

In the latest clip broadcast by Iranian outlets, a ballistic missile is shown lifting off from an undisclosed location, with “GAME OVER USA” painted along its body in bold red letters, a detail heavily highlighted by anchors and social media accounts aligned with the Revolutionary Guard.

This type of branding fits a pattern of recent Iranian messaging, where launch videos serve both as military signaling and psychological theater designed to project defiance and strength to domestic and regional audiences.

Iranian coverage frames the strike as part of an ongoing campaign against US military positions in Gulf states, following earlier waves of drones and missiles targeting facilities in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and other locations.

State-linked agencies describe recent barrages as “precise” and “devastating,” claiming hits on US air‑defence systems, early‑warning sites and fuel storage installations, though independent verification of specific damage remains limited.

Strikes across southern and western Iran

In the last 12–24 hours, regional and international outlets have reported new attacks on more than a dozen locations inside Iran, including cities such as Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Ahvaz, Abadan and Qeshm, as the confrontation spills across southern and western provinces.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the strikes are focused on “degrading Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping” and on dismantling missile and drone infrastructure along Iran’s coastline, amid heightened tension near the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian officials, quoted by local media, accuse Washington of killing and wounding scores of people in these operations and vow continued retaliation against US military infrastructure across the Gulf. Their statements describe the attacks as violations of Iranian sovereignty and portray the missile launches, including the “GAME OVER USA” footage, as a justified response to American escalation.

US claims major hits on Iranian capabilities

From the American side, CENTCOM and officials said that recent rounds of strikes have hit around 80–90 Iranian military targets, including air‑defence sites, coastal surveillance systems, missile and drone storage facilities, naval assets and logistics hubs.

Pentagon and CENTCOM statements frame these actions as retaliatory and pre‑emptive, linked to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels and previous missile strikes on US‑linked bases in Kuwait and other Gulf countries.

While officials emphasize efforts to avoid a wider war, they also warn that US forces “remain on the hunt” for launchers and support infrastructure capable of threatening American personnel and shipping lanes.

The latest missile footage and reciprocal strikes deepen a pattern of tit‑for‑tat escalation that has unfolded over recent weeks, with Iran’s dramatic launch videos playing to domestic audiences and regional sympathizers even as its arsenal faces sustained pressure from US and Israeli attacks.

For now, both Tehran and Washington insist they do not seek a full‑scale war, but the combination of lethal exchanges, heavily choreographed media campaigns, and attacks reaching deeper into Iranian territory and across Gulf bases keeps the confrontation volatile and unpredictable.
