TEHRAN – The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced a major coordinated operation against American and Israeli military and industrial infrastructure, demonstrating Iran’s growing military capabilities and readiness to defend its sovereignty.

According to the IRGC Public Relations, the Navy and Aerospace units launched the 98th Wave of “Operation True Promise 4 on Monday morning, targeting key enemy command centers, operational sites, logistical hubs, and industrial-military facilities. 

In the first phase, IRGC naval forces struck the SDN7 container ship, owned by the Israeli regime, with a cruise missile. The vessel was completely destroyed, resulting in a massive fire.

Strategic locations in northern and southern Tel Aviv, critical centers in Haifa, chemical plants in Be’er Sheva, and military positions in Bat Yam and Tekoa were precisely targeted with Iranian ballistic missiles. Reports note that the highly advanced Israeli air defense systems were unable to intercept these strikes. Four people were killed as a result of the Iranian attack in Haifa. 

The amphibious assault ship LHA7 of the US military, carrying over 5,000 sailors and marines, was also attacked with rapid Iranian missile and artillery strikes, forcing it to retreat deep into the southern Indian Ocean.

The second phase of the operation targeted a joint drone production facility operated by the UAE and Israel, along with multiple aircraft stationed at Ali Al Salem Air Base. These targets were struck with precision drones and missiles, showcasing the operational range and accuracy of Iran’s unmanned systems.

Maritime activity in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf remains under constant surveillance by IRGC naval units. The announcement stressed that any hostile movements will be met with decisive and immediate retaliation.

This operation underscores Iran’s strategic resolve to defend its national security, deter aggression, and demonstrate the operational readiness of its armed forces.
