IRGC strikes US, Israeli assets and troops hideouts in 86th wave of retaliatory attacks 

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has conducted strikes against US aerial and drone infrastructure, alongside their ammunition storage sites and troops hideouts.

The IRGC said in a statement on Sunday that the operation was carried out during the 86th wave of its ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4.

The multi-phase operation, it said, involved joint missile and drone strikes by the IRGC Aerospace and Naval forces.

The statement detailed that the initial phase focused on the enemies’ aerial and UAV operational assets, ammunition depots, and their forces' hideouts in the region.

Subsequent missile and drone strikes accurately hit the hideouts of “terrorist forces” across the occupied territories, including Tel Aviv and the Negev.

The IRGC statement added that “plumes of rising smoke, widespread explosions, and images of destroyed multi-million-dollar US aircraft have effectively thwarted efforts” by US regional allies and affiliated media to censor the scale of Iran’s retaliatory offensive against their positions in the region.

The armed forces have simultaneously targeted the positions of Komala Kurdish separatist groups across the Erbil province of the Iraqi Kurdistan region.

Iranian armed forces have been carrying out retaliatory attacks on US military assets in regional countries and on targets in the occupied territories since Washington and Tel Aviv launched their illegal unprovoked war against the Islamic Republic on February 28.

In the last 29 days, Iran has delivered a series of devastating strikes on enemy targets, effectively paralyzing the US and air defense systems across the region.

In a report on Saturday, The Wall Street Journal revealed that Arab Persian Gulf nations—including the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain—are seeking additional air defense support amid Iran’s relentless retaliatory strikes on US military bases stationed on their soil.

Meanwhile, the report highlighted a global shortage of interceptor systems, noting that defense stockpiles are facing significant strain as the demand for advanced missile defense outpaces supply.

Israel has also begun rationing its most advanced missile interceptors to prevent a total collapse of its defense stockpiles, the report said.
