IRGC strikes US-Israeli industrial sites in retaliation for infrastructure attacks 

The IRGC announces a large-scale missile and drone operation targeting heavy industries belonging to the American-Israeli enemy in occupied territories and other locations in the region. 

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced a large-scale missile and drone operation targeting heavy industries belonging to the American-Israeli enemy in occupied territories and other locations across the region.

In a statement, IRGC’s Public Relations Department said the operation was a retaliation for recent attacks on Iranian non-military industries, as part of the 85th wave of Operation True Promise 4.

The IRGC described the strikes as a tribute to the resilience of the Iranian people and the nation’s industrial workers.

According to the statement, IRGC Navy and Aerospace Force personnel carried out successive barrages of missile and drone attacks, destroying parts of several industrial facilities belonging to the aggressor American-Zionist enemy in occupied territories and elsewhere.

During the operation, the IRGC reported that enemy air forces attempted to target their launch platforms using fighter jets and drones. It added that the elite force’s air defense units shot down an American MQ-9 unmanned strategic aircraft over Shiraz.

Additionally, an American F-16 fighter jet was struck in southern Fars Province and was destroyed before landing at an airfield in Saudi Arabia.

The IRGC stated that US Central Command had acknowledged the strike and the total damage to the aircraft.

The statement issued a direct warning to American leaders, saying, “We had warned the imprudent rulers of America that we would retaliate against attacks on industrial targets. This attack was only a warning. If industries are attacked again, our next response will be beyond your imagination.”

On the 28th day since the start of the US-Israeli aggression against the country, parts of Iran’s industrial infrastructure suffered damage. Iranian officials had warned the attacks would be met with a firm response to the criminal enemy.

The United States and Israel launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking military commanders despite indirect Tehran-Washington negotiations on Iran's peaceful nuclear program.

In response, Iranian Armed Forces immediately initiated powerful missile and drone operations against US interests across West Asia and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.
