IRGC Launches Wave 67 of Operation True Promise 4, Strikes US and Israeli Targets

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has carried out the 67th wave of Operation True Promise 4, targeting US-led coalition forces and Israeli military installations in a significant escalation of its ongoing campaign.

The operation, dedicated to martyred IRGC spokesperson Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini and his brother, involved heavy ballistic missiles alongside extensive drone strikes.

According to an IRGC statement, strikes targeted the Ali Al-Salem base in Kuwait, a UAV air and space command, aircraft maintenance hangars, equipment and helicopter support warehouses, and the US-led Coalition Forces Operations Center. Long- and medium-range missiles were also used to strike four missile-defense early-warning radars and the US gathering site at Al-Wafa base.

In Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, the IRGC said it hit Israeli satellite, radar, and air defense installations across central, southern, and northern areas, employing long- and medium-range missile systems with liquid and solid propellants for precision targeting.

IRGC issued a direct warning to US and Israeli leaders in its statement, declaring that a “dark fate awaits Trump and Netanyahu” and expressing confidence in victory.

IRGC Mourns Spokesman Hours Before Strikes

Just hours earlier, the IRGC had mourned Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini, its Public Relations deputy and spokesperson, who was killed in a US-Israeli attack in the early hours of the last day of Ramadan.

In a statement offering condolences to Iran’s Leader, Naeini’s family, colleagues, media personnel, and the people of Kashan, the IRGC described his death as a “proud martyrdom in the fields of culture and media.”

The statement highlighted Naeini’s more than four decades of service to the Islamic Revolution, particularly his role in documenting and narrating the eight-year Iran-Iraq war. In recent years, he served as the IRGC’s spokesperson during Operations True Promise 1 through 4.

The IRGC praised Naeini’s contributions to “soft warfare” strategies, describing his ideas as guiding principles for personnel engaged in cognitive operations against adversaries, and pledged to continue his path of steadfastness.

Iran Vows to Continue Campaign

Earlier at dawn, IRGC said it had carried out the 66th wave of Operation True Promise 4, targeting sites in occupied territories including Tel Aviv, as well as US military bases in the region.

That operation involved a range of missiles, including Qadr, Khorramshahr, Kheibar Shekan, Qiam, and Zolfaghar, alongside one-way attack drones.

IRGC emphasized that the campaign remains ongoing, stating it will not halt operations and that further waves are expected.
