The IRGC announced it conducted a large-scale military operation to honor prominent resistance figures, including Iran’s General Qasem Soleimani, Hezbollah’s Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Palestinian leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar.
The offensive, launched on the 23rd night of Ramadan, struck locations in northern Israeli-occupied territories—such as Kiryat Shmona, Haifa, and Hadera—as well as US military installations in the region.
The IRGC deployed a barrage of advanced missiles, including Khorramshahr, Kheiber Shekan, Fattah, Imad, and Qadr models, alongside precision drone attacks on enemy positions.
The operation, codenamed "Ya Sadiq al-Wa’ad" (O Keeper of the Promise), underscores Iran’s commitment to countering American and Israeli aggression in West Asia.
This follows the 43rd phase of Operation True Promise, where Kheibar Shekan missiles—each carrying a one-ton warhead—struck Israeli military positions in Tel Aviv, Eilat, and West Al-Quds.
The IRGC statement emphasized that the latest strikes honor the martyrs of Tariq al-Quds, symbolizing resistance against Israeli occupation and the liberation of Al-Quds.
The IRGC reported the downing of a US Boeing KC-130 Stratotanker, which was refueling an Israeli fighter jet during an airstrike, resulting in the deaths of all six crew members.
In a stern warning, the IRGC declared: "American soldiers should vacate the area immediately, or we will bury you under rubble in any location, including hotels, tunnels, industrial zones, and underground shelters."
Brigadier General Ali Fadavi, a senior IRGC aide, stated that US and Israeli forces have faced severe setbacks since Operation True Promise 4 began.
"Power equations in the region have shifted in favor of the Resistance Front, marking the decline of America’s hollow dominance in West Asia," he asserted.
Major General Ali Abdollahi, commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, reaffirmed Iran’s resolve:
"The enemy will be forced to pay the price for its crimes."
The operation follows the February 28 unprovoked assault by the US and Israel on Iran, which led to the assassination of the late Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
Iran has repeatedly emphasized that it only targets American positions and bases in the region and does not seek conflict with Arab countries.
The offensive aligns with the lead-up to Al-Quds Day, a symbolic day of solidarity with Palestinians and resistance against occupation.
