Russia has accused US policy of contributing to the ongoing escalation in West Asia, which led to Iran's missile attack on the Israeli entity on Tuesday night. The attack targeted "the heart of the occupied territories" in response to the assassination of martyrs Haniyeh, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Brigadier General Abbas Nilforooshan Nilforooshian, as per a statement by IRGC.

On this issue, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova criticized US President Joe Biden's policy in the West Asia region, calling it a failure as tensions continue to rise.

She stated, "A complete failure of the Biden administration in the Middle East. A bloody drama that is only gaining momentum. The White House's inarticulate statements demonstrate complete helplessness in resolving crises. The efforts of [U.S. Secretary of State Antony] Blinken have led to tens of thousands of victims and a stalemate," according to TASS.

On September 23, "Israel" launched an aggression on Lebanon, executing widespread strikes across the country, claiming that the targets were Hezbollah military sites. In a strike on September 27, "Israel" assassinated Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. Hezbollah confirmed his martyrdom and vowed to continue resisting "Israel".

Operation True Promise 2

The IRGC dubbed the missile attack on "Israel" on October 1 "Operation True Promise 2" after its antecedent "Operation True Promise", during which an unprecedented drone and missile attack was launched at "Israel" from Iran in April, in response to the Israeli assassination of its officials and aggression on its embassy in Damascus.

In a second statement, the IRGC confirmed that three military bases in Tel Aviv were targeted: Nevatim, Hatzerim, and the Tel Nof Airbase.

In detail, the Nevatim base houses the F-35 fighter jets, and the Hatzerim base houses the F-15 fighter jets used to assassinate Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. The IRGC affirmed that the latter was targeted in response to the assassination of Hezbollah's martyred leader. 

Additionally, at least 90% of Iran's ballistic missiles and projectiles launched from its first wave toward occupied Palestinian territories struck their targets, according to the IRGC's second statement.

The attack also successfully hit gas platforms near the occupied city of Askalan, according to Tasnim News Agency.
