The spokesperson for the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Abu al-Fadl Shakarchi, said that the assassination of some Iranian officials and military commanders “does not reflect the strength of the enemy, but rather indicates [their] weakness, desperation, and malice.”
His remarks come amid the ongoing US-Israeli aggression against Iran, particularly the continued targeting of commanders. The latest of these attacks resulted in the martyrdom of the spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini.
In this context, Shakarchi stressed that Iranian commanders “do not hide in shelters like the officials of the Israeli entity and the Americans, but are present among the people and live with them.”
Iran issues warning
Addressing the country’s adversaries, Shakarchi stated that it “will not be long before we drag you out of your hideouts and shelters in humiliation and disgrace, and inflict upon you the punishment you deserve for your transgression,” warning that tourist and recreational areas around the world “will not be safe for them,” based on intelligence held by Tehran.
He added that the Iranian armed forces are “closely monitoring the officials, commanders, pilots, and soldiers of the enemies,” affirming that operations will continue “with strong determination and greater effectiveness than before.”
True Promise 4 continues: Wave 67
Iran's IRGC carried out wave 67 of Operation True Promise 4, dedicated to the martyred IRGC spokesperson Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini and his brother.
The operation involved the deployment of heavy ballistic and cluster missiles, as well as extensive drone strikes targeting US military assets, as well as radar systems and infrastructure in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories.
Targets included the Ali al-Salem base in Kuwait, UAV air and space command, aircraft maintenance hangars, equipment and helicopter support warehouses, and the US-led Coalition Forces Operations Center.
Additionally, the IRGC targeted four missile-defense early-warning radars and the US gathering site at al-Wafa base with long- and medium-range missiles.
Israeli satellite, radar, and air defense installations across central, southern, and northern occupied territories also came under attack, using long- and medium-range missile systems with liquid and solid propellants for precision targeting.
The IRGC statement warned US and Israeli leaders, saying a dark fate awaits Trump and Netanyahu, emphasizing confidence in victory.
