IRGC targets US Fifth Naval Fleet, other sites in 76th wave of reprisal attacks

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has launched a fresh wave of retaliatory airstrikes, targeting military infrastructure belonging to the hostile US and Israeli regimes.

 

In a statement released on Monday, the IRGC’s Public Relations Department announced that it had successfully conducted the 76th wave of attacks as part of Operation True Promise-4, as part of the ongoing retaliation against illegal US-Israeli aggression against Iran.

 

During the operation, powerful drones, along with liquid-fuel Qiam and solid-fuel Zulfaqar missiles, struck the United States’ Fifth Naval Fleet, as well as its bases of al-Dhafra, Victoria, and Prince Sultan across the region, it said.

 

The Zionist regime’s military infrastructure in Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, Haifa, and Gush Dan were also targeted with heavy, solid-liquid and navigable missiles such as Kheybar Shekan and Qiam.

 

The elite military force said, “The sustained firing of Iranian missiles and drones, their passing through the enemy’s advanced air defense systems, and their effective and widespread hitting of strategic targets have annulled the claims and delusions of warmongering American and Zionist officials about the destruction of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s missile and naval capability.”

In an earlier statement on Monday, the IRGC said the drone unit of its Ground Force had carried out a massive attack against the positions and places of gathering of separatists in Erbil, in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region.

 

It noted that the operation took place as part of the 75th wave of Iranian retaliatory strikes against the enemies.

 

“The enemies will be safe nowhere. We will find them (the enemies), whose fates have already been announced,” it warned.

 

Meanwhile, the IRGC said the 75th wave of Iranian attacks involved the targeting of new military deployments and hiding places of Israeli troops across the occupied Palestinian territories.

 

Ballistic missiles were also fired at Prince Sultan Air Base in al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia, which is a key hub for US aggressors' deployments and anti-Iran aerial assaults, it added.

 

The US and Israel launched their criminal act of aggression against Iran on February 28 by assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders, in flagrant violation of the country’s sovereignty.

 

The enemies have deliberately targeted Iran’s civilian infrastructure and energy facilities, killing hundreds of Iranian people.

 

Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the terrorist military assault by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied lands as well as on US bases and assets in regional countries.
