The IRGC launches a new wave of retaliatory airstrikes against American and Israeli targets across the region.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has launched a new wave of retaliatory airstrikes, using hypersonic missiles and drones to hit American and Israeli targets across the region.
In a statement released on Sunday, the IRGC’s Public Relations Department announced that it had successfully conducted the 53rd wave of attacks as part of Operation True Promise-4, which began in response to the unprovoked US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
The strikes involved the combined launch of 10 hypersonic Fattah and Qadr missiles, as well as explosive drones, against US terrorist army forces at the al-Dhafra base in the UAE, which played a support-intelligence role in the military aggression against Iran.

Moreover, it noted, Israel’s regional command and control centers and facilities that managed the regime’s home front came under the retaliatory attacks.
The IRGC also vowed to continue its crushing strikes on US and Israeli targets, centers, and interests to punish the aggressor regimes and make them surrender.
The elite military force further noted that the 53rd wave of its strikes were carried out in honor of the 84 martyred sailors of the Iranian Dena destroyer, which was attacked by a US submarine at the coasts of Sri Lanka on March 4 while returning home from a naval drill with India.
The criminal US-Israeli aggression on Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders.
Iranian Armed forces, including the IRGC, have responded by launching almost daily missile and drone operations targeting locations in the Israeli occupied lands as well as US military bases and assets across the region.
