WANA (Apr 07) – The Public Relations office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its Naval and Aerospace forces launched “Wave 99 of Operation True Promise 4” at dawn today.

 

The combined operation, initiated with the holy code name “Ya Fatima al-Zahra” and dedicated to the “Jewish and Christian martyrs of the imposed wars”, was conducted in response to the U.S.-Israeli crimes in attacking the Assaluyeh petrochemical plants and their facilities.

 

The IRGC utilized ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and offensive drones to strike U.S. bases and interests in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, as well as military troop concentrations and command-and-control centers in the “occupied Palestinian territories”.

 

Strikes on U.S.-Owned Petrochemical Hubs

In the first phase of the attacks, major petrochemical complexes owned by American companies were effectively targeted using medium-range missiles and several suicide drones. The targeted facilities include:

  • The largest petrochemical complex, belonging to Sadra, ExxonMobil, and Dow Chemical located in the Al-Jubail region of Saudi Arabia.
  • The large petrochemical complex of the American company Chevron Phillips is based in Al-Ju’aymah, Saudi Arabia.

 

Maritime Interdiction and Warning

An Israeli-owned container ship was precisely struck by the “warriors of Islam” following an intelligence-led missile operation. The vessel was reportedly tasked with transporting military equipment to the Israeli regime via the port of Khor Fakkan in the UAE to bypass the Strait of Hormuz by land.

 

The IRGC stated that the destruction of this ship serves as a warning to all vessels collaborating with the Israeli regime or the U.S. in any capacity.

 

Furthermore, the position of the U.S. terrorist “CVN 72” aircraft carrier strike group in the depths of the Indian Ocean was attacked using long-range naval cruise missiles.

 

Warnings to the U.S. and Regional Partners

The IRGC statement included sharp warnings to American leadership and regional allies:

Strategic Miscalculation: “The foolish leaders of America, who have sacrificed all their interests for the ‘Zionists’, lack the power to calculate which of their vital assets are within the crosshairs of our warriors in response to attacks on our infrastructure.”

 

Retaliation Beyond the Region: “The IRGC once again declares that if the U.S. terrorist army crosses red lines, our response will extend beyond the region. We have not been, and will not be, the initiators of attacks on civilian targets; however, we will not hesitate to retaliate against vile aggressions on civilian facilities.”

 

Energy Deprivation: “We will deal with the infrastructure of the U.S. and its partners in such a way that America and its allies will be deprived of the region’s oil and gas for years to come.”

 

End of Restraint for Neighbors: “Regional partners of the U.S. should know that until today, we have exercised great restraint due to good neighborliness and have maintained certain considerations in choosing targets for retaliation. However, from now on, all such considerations have been removed.”
