The IRGC announced in a statement on March 29 that the 86th wave of the True Promise 4 operation was launched in the early hours of Sunday in a multi-stage format, involving coordinated missile and drone attacks by the IRGC Aerospace Force and Navy forces against US and Israeli targets in the region.

According to the statement, in the first phase of the operation, missile and drone strikes targeted air and drone operational infrastructure as well as weapons stockpiles at US bases, including Victoria, Arifjan, and Al Kharj.

The IRGC added that in subsequent stages, the hideouts of the terrorist forces of the US and Israeli armies as well as elements affiliated with the Komala group were precisely targeted in various areas, including Arad, the Negev, Tel Aviv, Erbil, the US Fifth Fleet, and Al Dhafra.

It further stated that the plumes of smoke and explosions across the region, and images showing the wreckage of multi-million-dollar US aircraft have thwarted efforts by officials and media outlets in US-allied countries in the region to censor reports of the Iranian strikes.

The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.

The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.

In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
