The Islamic Republic of Iran has launched a comprehensive missile strike targeting military bases and strategic locations in Israel.

The operation comes in direct response to the regime’s recent criminal assault on Iranian cities, including sensitive military and nuclear sites.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that the operation, named Operation True Promise III, was successfully executed, delivering a strong message to those who threaten Iran’s sovereignty and security.

This latest response underscores Iran’s unwavering commitment to defending its territorial integrity and avenging the blood of its martyrs. The Islamic Republic has made it clear that any act of aggression will be met with firm and forceful retaliation.

According to official sources in Tehran, more than 200 precision-guided missiles were fired from various military bases across the country, including in Fars and Esfahan provinces. Iranian defense officials described the operation as a "crushing and highly accurate response" ordered directly by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, targeting "dozens of military sites, strategic centers, and airbases" within the occupied Palestinian territories.

Israeli Regime Reels Under Missile Rain

Hebrew media outlets have admitted the unprecedented scale of the Iranian strike, with Channel 12 reporting 200 to 300 missiles launched from Iran, causing impacts in at least nine locations across the occupied territories. Explosions were reported in Tel Aviv, with fires breaking out near the so-called "Israeli" Security Ministry after what is being described as a direct missile hit.

Meanwhile, explosions were also confirmed above sensitive sites, including the Nevatim military air base in the Naqab (Negev) desert, where several Israeli occupation forces were reportedly wounded. The Israeli regime's censorship unit immediately imposed a media blackout, instructing outlets to refrain from publishing images or footage of the impact zones, fearing Iran could analyze strike accuracy through such leaks.

Haifa, Tel Aviv and Central Palestine Targeted

Missiles reached deep into the heart of the occupied territories, with air raid sirens blaring across Haifa, Tel Aviv, and central parts of occupied Palestine. Footage from residents—circulating briefly before being censored—showed chaos in the streets as explosions rocked cities long considered secure by the Zionist establishment.

According to Channel 14, the regime’s security sources acknowledged that Iran is using on-the-ground impact footage to fine-tune its targeting, signaling a new era of precision warfare by the Islamic Republic.

Israeli Air Power Challenged: Two F-35 Jets Downed

In a remarkable feat of defensive capability, the Iranian Army’s air defense units successfully shot down two Zionist F-35 fighter jets, part of the regime’s most advanced fleet. While details remain scarce, Iranian officials stated that the fate of the pilots is still unknown, and further information will be disclosed following a full review.

Widespread Blackouts and Media Confusion

In addition to direct military damage, numerous regions within the occupied territories experienced power blackouts, further disrupting the Zionist regime’s ability to respond and communicate. Israeli media, while under tight censorship, described the current situation as "unusual" and "chaotic." Many questioned the preparedness of the regime’s multi-billion-dollar air defense systems, which appeared overwhelmed by the precision and intensity of the Iranian missile salvos.

Iranian Message: Deterrence Through Precision

The IRGC’s statement following the operation emphasized that Iran’s actions were measured, just, and necessary, stating:

“Under the directives of the Revolution’s leader, a crushing and highly accurate response was carried out, striking dozens of military sites, strategic centers, and airbases in retaliation.”

The unprecedented scope of the Iranian response underscores the Islamic Republic’s message: any violation of its sovereignty will be met with overwhelming and exacting force. Operation True Promise III has not only demonstrated Iran’s military capabilities but has also served as a powerful statement of regional deterrence and resistance against Zionist aggression.

The situation remains tense, with Iran’s armed forces on full alert, while the Zionist entity scrambles to assess the scale of damage and prepare for what may come next. (ILKHA)
