The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said its naval forces have carried out a series of rapid and precise operations against US and Israeli targets in the region, including strikes on ships, military gatherings, and radar and drone defense systems, Tasnim news agency reported, citing the IRGC’s statement.
in a statement on Tuesday, The IRGC announced that four successful and rapid operations by the brave fighters of the IRGC Navy were carried out early this morning.
It said that during the 88th wave of Operation True Promise 4, the IRGC Navy forces delivered heavy and decisive blows to American and Israeli terrorist targets.
In this lightning assault, a container ship belonging to the Zionist regime, named “Express Halfong”, was struck by ballistic missiles from the IRGC Navy in the central waters of the Persian Gulf, the statement said.
It noted that in a second combined operation, a gathering site of US Marines on the coasts of the United Arab Emirates—hidden in a cover location outside a military base out of fear of the IRGC’s destructive missiles—was precisely targeted by destructive drones.
Elsewhere in the operation, the Hawk anti-drone system of the US Fifth Fleet, stationed outside its base near Bahrain’s Manama Airport, was destroyed by IRGC drones, the statement added.
Additionally, two advanced early-warning radar systems at the American terrorist base Ahmad Al-Jaber were struck by IRGC drones, it added.
The IRGC Navy stated that the Strait of Hormuz remains firmly and dominantly under the control of its forces in accordance with orders from Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, warning that any enemy movement will be immediately targeted by missiles and drones.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.
The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
