The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the launch of the ninth wave of Operation True Promise 4, targeting sites across the occupied territories and US positions in the region.
The US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln was hit by four cruise missiles, forcing it to leave its mission area and head toward the southeastern Indian Ocean. A US Navy fuel supply ship was also struck by drones and missiles approximately 700 kilometers from Chabahar port, disabling it and taking it out of operational service.
The IRGC confirmed the complete destruction of a THAAD radar system belonging to the Israeli missile defense network in Al Ruways, UAE, following a precise missile strike by its aerospace forces. It added that advanced anti-ship missile systems continue to track the US naval fleet in the region, with defensive and offensive operations ongoing against American and Israeli targets.
