Wave 98 Ignites Multiple Fronts: Revolutionary Guard Targets US-Israeli Ships, Bases, and Military Production Centers in “True Promise 4”
In a new qualitative escalation reflecting the widening scope of the confrontation and the evolving equations of response, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced today, Monday, the execution of the 98th wave of Operation “True Promise 4,” targeting a wide range of command, military, and logistical targets belonging to the American and Israeli enemy, as part of the ongoing response to the American-Zionist aggression against the Islamic Republic.
In an official statement, the Revolutionary Guard explained that its naval and aerospace forces had carried out complex and effective operations since the early morning hours under the slogan “O Master of the Prostrators (peace be upon him),” targeting command and control headquarters, operations centers, logistical support chains, and sensitive military-industrial infrastructure linked to the American and Zionist enemy, in a simultaneous and multi-pronged strike.
Precise Strikes Paralyze the Enemy’s Strategic Depth
Detailing the first phase of the operation, the statement confirmed that the Revolutionary Guard’s naval forces targeted a container ship. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted an Israeli SDN-7 with a precision-guided cruise missile, causing a large fire after a direct hit. This demonstrates the Iranian forces’ ability to target vital economic interests linked to the enemy.
Simultaneously, ballistic missile strikes struck wide areas deep within the occupied Palestinian territories, including northern and southern Tel Aviv, strategic centers in Haifa, chemical companies and factories in Beersheba, and military bases in Petah Tikva. The advanced Israeli air defense systems failed to intercept the missiles, reflecting a significant breach of their multi-layered protection systems.
Targeting US Naval Vessels and Forcing Them to Retreat: In a notable development, the IRGC revealed that it targeted a US LHA-7 amphibious assault ship, carrying more than 5,000 marines and sailors, in a series of swift attacks. This forced the ship to retreat into the depths of the southern Indian Ocean, a move that reflects the operational impact of the Iranian strikes on the US military presence in the region.
Strikes Target Drone Production Centers and Military Bases in the Gulf
The operations extended to targeting a joint drone production center between the UAE and the Zionist entity, in a clear message to regional military cooperation networks linked to the enemy. This was in addition to precision strikes against several aircraft stationed at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, using a combination of missiles and drones.
Ongoing Operations and Close Monitoring of Vital Waterways
The Revolutionary Guard confirmed that offensive operations are continuing at an escalating pace, in coordination with resistance factions in the region, noting that detailed information will be announced later. It also emphasized that maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is under close monitoring by naval forces, warning that any hostile action will be met with a decisive and immediate response.
“True Promise 4”: A Deterrent Equation Expanding
This wave comes within the context of Operation “True Promise 4,” launched by Iran in response to the American-Zionist aggression that, since late February, has targeted civilian facilities and service infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, and mosques, resulting in hundreds of casualties.
This 98th wave confirms that the escalation is moving towards establishing a new deterrent equation that transcends traditional geographical boundaries and targets the heart of the enemy’s military and economic infrastructure. This comes amidst the increasing inadequacy of its defense systems and the growing capabilities of the resistance axis to impose more painful and impactful field equations.
