IRGC Targets Israeli Airbases Used as Launch Sites for Attack on Iran

Operation True Promise III began on Friday evening in response to the Israeli regime’s acts of aggression against Iran earlier in the day.

“In this operation, the missile and drone units of the IRGC Aerospace Force employed a combination of precision-guided and smart missile systems to strike military centers, airbases used as launch sites for the criminal aggression against our nation, as well as military-industrial facilities instrumental in producing missiles and other weaponry for the Zionist regime’s army to commit crimes against the resistant nations of the region—particularly the oppressed people of Palestine and Gaza. These targets, along with other military objectives deep within the occupied territories, were successfully hit,” the IRGC said in a statement.

“Field reports, satellite imagery, and intelligence intercepts confirm the effective impact of dozens of ballistic missiles on strategic targets (in occupied Palestine). Despite the enemy’s claims of interception, they failed to counter the waves of missile attacks launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the statement added.

Operation True Promise III was carried out in compliance with the directive of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Commander-in-Chief of Iran’s Armed Forces and in response to the demand of the noble Iranian people, the statement went on to say.

The operation stands as part of the Islamic Republic’s decisive response to the innocent blood shed, the IRGC noted.

It went on to say that the operation was executed with full coordination among all branches of the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces, demonstrating both power and offensive capability.

“The operation’s main message is clear: The security of Islamic Iran is a red line for its Armed Forces.”

During Operation True Promise III, hundreds of missiles were fired by Iran on Friday evening and successfully breached the Zionists’ much-touted multi-layered air defense system.
