IRGC deploys twin-missile launch systems for first time in war

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has launched missiles from twin launch systems for the first time in its retaliatory attacks against the US-Israeli aggression.

The Public Relations of the IRGC said on Tuesday that the latest launch marked a pivotal moment, as missile strikes targeted central and southern regions of the Israeli-occupied territories.

The areas affected included major urban centers such as Rishon Letzion, Petah Tikva, Be'er Sheva, and Tel Aviv, with over 30 points targeted in total.

Kheybar-Shekan missiles were used in the strikes, which are known for their precision and capability to hit strategic sites.

The IRGC warned of carrying out heavier retaliatory attacks against the occupied territories, adding that all the Israeli regime’s industrial, infrastructure and military centers will be targeted in response to the “heinous crimes” against Iran.

It also called on residents of the occupied territories to evacuate the current centers immediately.

The commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force also confirmed the deployment of twin missile launchers, describing it as the beginning of a "new phase" in Iran’s retaliatory operations.

Posting a video on social platform UpScrolled, Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi said, “And now, the new phase of the war [has begun] with fresh, twin launchers for Fateh and Kheibar Shekan missiles, all previous strikes doubled.”

In a statement announcing the launch of the wave 99 of Operation True Promise 4, the IRGC reiterated that Iran “has not been and will never be the one to initiate attacks on civilian targets.”

On February 28, the United States and the Israeli regime launched an illegal, unprovoked war on Iran, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as well as several top military comcommanders.

Iran began its decisive, page-turning Operation True Promise 4 in retaliation.

Barrages of missiles and drones have been pounding the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on the US bases in regional countries.
