WANA (Jun 18) – As part of the ongoing “True Promise 3” operation, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the launch of the eleventh wave of missile strikes targeting locations in the occupied territories. According to the IRGC, the first-generation “Fattah” missiles were used in this operation and successfully penetrated Israel’s defense systems to strike the capital of the regime.

 

In statement No. 10, the IRGC declared:

“Tonight, the powerful and maneuverable Fattah missiles pierced through the missile defense shield and repeatedly shook the shelter of the Zionist cowards, sending Iran’s message of strength to Tel Aviv’s warmongering ally, lost in futile illusions.”

 

The IRGC also claimed it had achieved complete control over the skies of the occupied territories, adding that residents of these areas no longer have refuge from Iran’s missile strikes. Colonel Tajik, spokesperson for the “True Promise 3” operation, confirmed this assertion, stating:

 

“Tonight’s missile attack proved that we have gained full dominance over the skies of the occupied territories.”

 

Reports and images released by domestic and regional media suggest that Iranian missiles struck multiple points in Tel Aviv in quick succession, causing several fires in the city. Field sources have also reported malfunctions in advanced Israeli defense systems such as “Arrow” and “THAAD.”

 

Published images even show signs of the Israeli defense systems inadvertently hitting their own positions—an issue that has been observed in previous attacks as well.

 

Moreover, IRGC officials stressed that the latest strikes did not involve Iran’s newest generation of missiles; rather, they were carried out using older but still effective models.

 

With the continuation of the True Promise operation and the overt and covert signals conveyed through these attacks, it appears that the military dynamics in the region have entered a new phase—one that carries a clear message for both Israel and its backers.
