Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has launched a new phase of retaliatory strikes under “Operation True Promise 4,” targeting what it described as U.S. military facilities and Israeli strategic positions across the region. The announcement comes amid continued escalation following large-scale air and missile operations involving multiple countries in the Middle East.

According to Iranian statements, the latest wave includes ballistic missile launches and coordinated drone attacks aimed at command centers, air bases, and logistical hubs linked to allied military operations. Authorities in several regional countries reported heightened air-defense activity and warning sirens as defensive systems were activated to intercept incoming threats.

Analysts say the declaration of a new operational phase underscores Iran’s effort to demonstrate continued strike capability despite sustained pressure on its military infrastructure.

The development raises concerns of a broader regional confrontation as retaliatory cycles intensify and multiple fronts remain active across the Middle East.
