WANA (Apr 06) – The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has issued a major operational update, warning that if attacks on civilian targets continue, Iran’s retaliatory phases will be executed with “far more crushing and expansive” force.

 

The announcement follows reported escalations in Southern Isfahan, Karaj, and Mahshahr. Below is the full text of the official communique detailing the specific strikes carried out under Operation True Promise 4:

 

Wave 96 of Operation

In a joint operation between the IRGC Navy and Aerospace forces, the first stage of retaliation targeted the following assets:

 

Israeli Fighter Fuel Supply: A strike on a primary refinery supplying the Israeli regime’s air force, resulting in the destruction of core sectors.

 

U.S. Energy Interests (UAE): Strikes on ExxonMobil and Chevron gas facilities located in Habshan.

 

Al Ruways Petrochemical (UAE): A missile attack on a U.S. petrochemical plant producing fuel and military components for U.S. and Israeli forces, resulting in massive fires.

 

Sitra Petrochemical (Bahrain): A heavy drone assault on this facility, which plays a vital role in providing petroleum derivatives to the U.S. military.

 

Shuaiba Facility (Kuwait): An attack on U.S.-linked petrochemical infrastructure, leading to a total operational shutdown due to fire.

 

Wave 97 of Operation

The IRGC Navy targeted Israeli “terrorist” assets across the Persian Gulf:

 

Command Center Strike: Ballistic missiles and suicide drones destroyed a covert meeting location of U.S. commanders and officers near the Mohammed Al-Ahmad Naval Base in Kuwait.

 

Casualty Report: IRGC intelligence claims at least 25 U.S. personnel were confirmed killed or wounded in a prior strike in the UAE.

 

Maritime Strike: The Israeli-linked vessel “Qingdao Star” was precisely struck by a Qadir cruise missile in the Jebel Ali port canal (UAE) and is currently reported to be on fire.

 

Hormuz Blockade: Iranian forces prevented the passage of several vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, redirecting them to designated anchorages for lack of “traffic permits.”

 

Army and Aerospace Joint Actions

Simultaneously, the Islamic Republic of Iran Army and IRGC Aerospace forces targeted:

 

Beersheba Industrial Zone: Retaliatory strikes on military-affiliated industrial sites in Israel.

 

Dimona & Bubiyan: Drone strikes targeted petrochemical storage near Dimona and a newly established U.S. “Control and Eavesdropping” center on Bubiyan Island (Kuwait). This center reportedly housed HIMARS systems and satellite communication units.

 

Air Defense Successes

Iran’s Integrated Air Defense Network reported the downing of two additional aircraft in the last few hours:

  • An MQ-9 drone over Isfahan.
  • A Lucas drone near Kharg Island.

 

This brings the total number of intercepted drones to 163.

 

Final Warning

The Headquarters concluded with a definitive ultimatum:

 

“We declared from the outset that any aggression against civilian targets would meet a doubled response against enemy interests anywhere in the region. Should these attacks recur, our offensive operations will expand significantly, and the losses for those insisting on this approach will multiply.”
