In yet another desperate act of vengeance, Iran unleashed a barrage of advanced Qiam ballistic missiles targeting both Israeli and U.S. positions across the region on March 31, 2026. This marked the 88th wave of attacks since the beginning of Operation Roaring Lion, with the IRGC boasting of using its “most accurate and ᴅᴇᴀᴅly” solid-fuel missiles to strike military and strategic targets in Israel and American bases in the Gulf.
Sirens blared across Israel as waves of Qiam missiles streaked toward central and southern regions. Israeli air defenses, including Arrow-3 and David’s Sling, intercepted the majority of the incoming threats in spectacular mid-air explosions. However, a small number of missiles got through, causing limited damage and several injuries. U.S. forces in the region also reported successful intercepts, though Iranian state media claimed “direct hits” on American ᴀssets.
This latest barrage is widely seen as Iran’s flailing attempt at revenge following a string of catastrophic defeats. U.S. Marines have captured Qeshm Island, secured the Strait of Hormuz, destroyed Bandar Abbas naval base, and eliminated key underground missile complexes. Israeli strikes have obliterated nuclear facilities at Saghand and Arak, while mᴀssive explosions continue to rock weapons depots in Isfahan.
Despite the fiery rhetoric from Tehran, military experts note that each new wave is smaller and less effective than the last. Iran is rapidly exhausting its missile inventory while inviting even stronger retaliation. The regime’s strategy of launching “revenge attacks” is not only failing militarily but is further isolating it internationally.
Operation Roaring Lion continues with unrelenting momentum. The United States and Israel have made it crystal clear: every Iranian missile fired will be answered with overwhelming force. The Islamic Republic, once feared for its missile power, is now exposing its weakness and accelerating its own collapse with every futile launch.
The message to the ayatollahs is unmistakable — your time is running out. Continued aggression will only hasten the complete dismantling of your military capabilities and bring the regime closer to its final downfall.
