The Ground Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has responded to the Israeli-US aggression against Iran with 3 major operations.

Announcing another phase of Operation True Promise 4 on Wednesday, IRGC’s Public Relations stated that immediately after the joint Israeli-US aggression against Iran, its ground forces launched more than 230 assault drones towards targets in the Occupied Lands and US bases in the region.

“Firing dozens of drones in several waves towards the US military bases in Erbil, and Kuwait, and destroying several terrorist groups’ headquarters in northern Iraq, were the first actions of brave soldiers of the IRGC against child-killing aggressors,” said the announcement.

The US and Israeli armed forces began their aggression against Iran on Saturday by attacking 30 targets across the capital Tehran, killing several senior Iranian officials.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei was also martyred in the Saturday attack.

Since then, Iranian armed forces have swiftly and decisively retaliated against these strikes by launching barrages of missile and drones against the Israeli-occupied territories as well as US bases in region.

According to the IRGC, Iran’s retaliatory strikes left more than 680 casualties for American troops in various US bases in the first two days of the war.

Iranian officials have stressed that targeting US military bases in the region constitutes “legitimate self-defense.”

Referring to Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, they say that Iran has the legal right to defend itself against “acts of aggression” by the US or the Israeli regime.
