WANA (Mar 24) – The spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters announced the launch of a new round of drone and missile strikes by the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the 23rd day of “Operation True Promise 4,” saying that a series of American and Israeli targets in the occupied territories, as well as U.S. military bases across the region, had been struck.

 

According to the spokesperson, beginning early Tuesday, drone units from the Iranian Army’s ground, air, and naval forces launched attacks from multiple locations across the country, targeting the Israeli regime’s Tel Nof Airbase as well as the site hosting U.S. F-35 and F-15 fighter jets at Azraq Airbase.

 

Referring to what he described as Iran’s continued operational response since the start of attacks by the United States and Israel, he said the Iranian Army had, in dozens of phases, used various types of loitering and strike drones to hit key and strategic sites in the occupied territories, along with what he called the launch points of enemy attacks from U.S. bases stationed in regional countries.

 

The spokesperson also announced another phase of operations under the 75th wave of “Operation True Promise 4,” stating that earlier in the day, drone units of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) carried out extensive strikes against positions and gatherings of separatist groups in Erbil.

 

He added that, also from early Tuesday, the 76th wave of the operation was launched by the IRGC Aerospace Force under the code name “Ya Aba Abdillah al-Hussein (AS),” opening what he described as a new offensive front against American and Israeli targets.

 

As part of that phase, he said U.S. military positions at Al Dhafra, Victoria, the U.S. Fifth Fleet, and King Sultan were targeted using drones as well as Qiam liquid-fuel missiles and Zolfaghar solid-fuel missiles.

 

The spokesperson further stated that Israeli military infrastructure in Ashkelon, Tel Aviv, Haifa, and the settlement of Gush Dan in the southern occupied Palestinian territories had been struck with Kheibar Shekan precision-guided solid-fuel missiles and Qiam liquid-fuel missiles.

 

He also announced the launch of the 77th wave of “Operation True Promise 4” under the code name “Ya Heydar Karrar,” saying that this phase targeted Israeli positions from the north to the south of the occupied territories using Kheibar Shekan missile systems and loitering drones.

 

According to the spokesperson, during the same wave, U.S. military bases including Ali Al Salem, Al Kharj, and Al Dhafra were also targeted with precision-strike systems, Zolfaghar solid-fuel missiles, and loitering drones.

 

In another part of his remarks, referring to recent statements by the U.S. president, the spokesperson said what he called the “contradictory and deceptive behavior” of American officials would not distract Iran from the battlefield, adding that U.S. psychological warfare was “nothing new” for the Islamic Republic.

 

He stressed that Iran’s “steadfastness and resistance” had thrown the plans and scenarios of what he described as the aggressor enemy into confusion and uncertainty, and said that this course would continue — alongside public presence on the streets and sustained military pressure — until what he called “final victory.”
