WANA (Apr 01) – The public relations office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has released details of the second phase of the 89th wave of “Operation True Promise 4,” reporting a series of coordinated missile and drone attacks targeting U.S. and Israeli-linked assets.

 

According to the statement, analysts and eyewitnesses said the intensity of Iranian missile launches toward central Israel and other parts of the Middle East since early morning contradicts claims by Tel Aviv and Washington that the attacks had been reduced by up to 90 percent.

 

The IRGC Navy said it carried out five large-scale operations at dawn using a combination of ballistic and cruise missiles, including the Qadir missile, along with attack drones. The operations were conducted under the code “Ya Fatemeh al-Zahra” and dedicated to individuals recently killed, including Alireza Tangsiri and another identified as Eshaqi.

 

According to the statement:

Two early-warning radar systems used by U.S. forces and located on a maritime structure in waters and islands near the United Arab Emirates were reportedly destroyed.

 

An Israeli-linked oil tanker named “Aqua One” was struck in the central Persian Gulf and is said to be on fire.

 

A location described as a covert gathering point for U.S. forces outside the area of the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain was targeted with multiple drones and ballistic missiles. Reports claim several senior naval officers were transferred to hospitals in Manama following the attack.

 

A helicopter preparation center for Boeing CH-47 Chinook aircraft and related equipment storage facilities at Al Udeid base were also reportedly hit.

 

Multiple waves of attack drones were launched toward the U.S. aircraft carrier group centered on the USS Abraham Lincoln in the northern Indian Ocean. The statement claimed the carrier group withdrew deeper into the ocean following the attack.

 

The IRGC further stated that a previous attack on a covert U.S. gathering site in the UAE resulted in 37 confirmed deaths and multiple injuries, with casualties transferred to local hospitals.

 

The statement concluded by asserting that the Strait of Hormuz remains firmly under IRGC naval control and will not be reopened under what it described as pressure or actions by the U.S. president.
