Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) declared Tuesday that its aerospace forces had launched a new, intensified wave of missile strikes on Israeli military targets, describing it as “stronger and more destructive than previous barrages.”
In its eighth official communique, the IRGC confirmed it had struck the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate (Aman) and a Mossad operations and planning center in Tel Aviv, which was reportedly engulfed in flames following the attack.
A massive blaze erupted at a logistics warehouse of the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate, known as Aman, following a direct Iranian strike earlier in the morning.

“Our destructive operations will continue,” the IRGC stated, emphasizing that “vital” components of the Israeli entity's military and intelligence infrastructure would remain in Tehran’s crosshairs.
IRGC vows continued precision strikes
Earlier, in its sixth official communique, the IRGC affirmed that the advanced technologies and capabilities deployed in today's operation have allowed for precise and successful strikes deep inside the Israeli entity.
The statement emphasized that the IRGC’s aerospace forces had accurately hit their intended targets, describing the strikes as part of a broader campaign to degrade the Israeli occupation’s vital infrastructure.
Reaffirming its intent to sustain military pressure, the IRGC declared that “impactful, effective, and destructive operations” would continue, specifically targeting what it described as critical nodes within the Israeli military and intelligence apparatus.
The escalating campaign is part of True Promise 3, an ongoing military operation the IRGC says is powered by advanced missile technology and precision strike capabilities, enabling deep penetration into occupied territory with increasing lethality.
IRGC advisor: Iran ready for prolonged war
Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi, senior advisor to the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), stated on Tuesday that the new-generation missiles used in recent operations represent only a fraction of Iran’s broader arsenal of modern military capabilities.
Speaking to Iranian media, General Vahidi dismissed reports suggesting Iran's missile reserves are running low. “The idea of a depleted missile stockpile is laughable; we haven’t even begun to use our missile capabilities strategically,” he said.
Vahidi emphasized that Iran possesses a wide range of advanced weaponry and will deploy it “whenever we deem it appropriate,” reaffirming Tehran’s readiness to escalate if necessary.
He also stressed that Tehran is not concerned about the prospect of a prolonged war, signaling growing confidence in Iran’s strategic depth and military preparedness amid intensifying confrontation with the Israeli occupation.
Drone war looms as Iranian commander warns of mass UAV deployment
In a parallel development, the Iranian Army's Ground Force Commander, Brigadier General Kioumars Heydari, announced that “hundreds of drones” would soon be launched toward Israeli targets. He stated that Iran’s unmanned aerial systems had already destroyed several strategic sites in Tel Aviv and Haifa on Monday.
“Our drones are long-range, highly accurate, and immensely destructive,” Heydari said, warning that further UAV strikes would focus on infrastructure critical to "Israel’s" military operations. He emphasized that this stage of retaliation would unfold in waves, coordinated as part of a broader military doctrine developed in response to the ongoing Israeli aggression.
Op. True Promise 3: Iran missile strike hits Israeli intelligence HQs
A new salvo of Iranian missiles struck areas in central "Israel" Tuesday morning, in what appears to be a direct and escalating response to the Israeli occupation’s continued bombardment of Iranian cities and civilian infrastructure.
Despite interception efforts, Israeli media confirmed that multiple missiles bypassed the Israeli defense systems. Explosions were reported across central "Israel", including direct strikes in Herzliya and Gush Dan, and loud blasts were heard in Ramat HaSharon and other areas near Tel Aviv.
A building in Herzliya was leveled, fires erupted, settlers were injured, and several others were trapped under rubble.

In a related development, Israeli media reported that the Iranian ballistic missiles struck at least five locations across the heart of Tel Aviv, with multiple impacts reported throughout "Greater Tel Aviv". Huge explosions were heard upon impact.
One of the missiles reportedly hit a sensitive target in Herzliya, a coastal city known for housing key Israeli security and intelligence infrastructure.
Simultaneously, military censorship has imposed a blackout on the location recently targeted and struck by Iranian missiles in the Glilot area, as per Israeli media.
The facility is reportedly used for all logistical activities of the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate, Aman.
Israeli media further emphasized that, based on the analysis of one of the photos published by a media outlet, the image appears to show the location of the attack on a large warehouse or logistics facility.

The Iranian military’s public declarations mark a significant shift in tone and intensity, signaling Tehran’s growing confidence in its ability to impose costs on the Israeli occupation’s security establishment. With direct strikes now targeting intelligence and operational centers, Iran appears committed to a sustained campaign designed to degrade Israel’s military capacity from within.
