IRGC Targets US-Israeli Command Centers, Pilot Hideouts

In a statement issued on Monday, the IRGC said the strikes were part of the 87th wave of Operation True Promise 4, describing the campaign as a sustained, multi-phase offensive targeting military and logistical infrastructure across multiple locations in the region.

The IRGC stated that locations used for hiding American and Israeli pilots were targeted by its missiles, adding that command and control centers, drone hangars, weapons support warehouses, and sites used by the “terrorist military forces” and American-Zionist pilots were struck in the latest wave of Iranian attacks.

According to the statement, these targets were hit in various areas, including five American bases in the region and military centers in the south, center, and north of the occupied Palestinian territories, including Haifa Bay, Kiryat Shmona, Tel Aviv, Be'er Sheva, Dimona, Al Kharj, Juffair, Victoria, and other locations. The IRGC said the attacks were carried out using liquid- and solid-fuel ballistic missiles, including Emad, Qiam, and Khorramshahr-4, as well as suicide drones.

The statement added that the combined, continuous, and multi-stage operation began in the early hours of the previous night and is still ongoing.

The IRGC also condemned the “unconventional and illegitimate” attack by the Israeli regime on desalination facilities in Kuwait, calling it a sign of the “baseness” of Zionist forces. It emphasized that American bases and personnel, as well as Israeli military and security centers in the occupied Palestinian territories, remain primary targets of its operations.

The statement further warned that countries in West Asia must remain vigilant regarding destabilizing actions by the US-Israeli axis aimed at creating unrest and destruction in the region.

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.
