This operation marked the first operational deployment of 'Nasrallah' missile system. According to the IRGC, medium-range Qiam and Zolfaghar missiles hit US targets at Al-Kharj Base, including critical fuel supply points for F-16, F-35, and AWACS aircraft.
Additional attacks focused on Sheikh Isa Base, responsible for command and communications, and Al-Dhafra Base, with high-precision strikes delivered by Qadr multi-warhead missiles and other systems, including Khaybar Shekan, Qiam, and Zolfaghar, the IRGC statement added.
Wave 64, OTP 4: IRGC strikes Ben Gurion airport, Haifa refineries
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the launch of wave 64 of Operation True Promise 4 early Thursday, against multiple targets in the occupied Palestinian territories.
In a statement released by its Public Relations Office, the IRGC said the operation targeted sites in central and northern areas in "Israel", including Ben Gurion Airport, the main hub for the regime’s combat assembly, operations, and logistical support, as well as fuel supply infrastructure. Additional targets reportedly included areas in Haifa, hosting troop concentrations and oil refineries, along with sites in Rishon LeZion.
The IRGC added that a myriad of missiles were deployed in the operations, including Ghadr, Emad, Kheibar Shekan, and 9 multi-warhead Khorramshahr missiles.
US Navy Fifth Fleet targeted yet again
The statement further reported that the United States Navy’s Fifth Fleet had been struck by medium-range, liquid and solid fuel missile systems.
According to the IRGC, the operations are part of a broader response to the US-Israeli aggression, noting that millions of Israeli settlers have been forced into shelters since the previous wave of attacks.
The IRGC said wave 64 is dedicated to the leaders of the Islamic Revolution and all martyrs of the Sacred Defense, the defenders of the shrines, and those martyred in the ongoing aggression on the country.
Iran launches wave 63
Earlier on March 18, the IRGC announced the launch of wave 63 of Operation True Promise 4, predominantly targeting oil facilities linked to the United States in the region. The latest launch was dedicated to "the brave soul of Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib and the martyrs of Iran's intelligence establishment."
In an official statement on March 18, the IRGC described wave 63 as a “turning point” in the course of the war, coming in response to attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure.
The IRGC declared in a complementary statement that "Iran had no intention of expanding the confrontation to oil installations" or harming the economies of neighboring and friendly countries. However, the attacks on its energy infrastructure compelled Tehran to escalate to a “new phase," targeting facilities affiliated with the US and its shareholders.
The statement emphasized that Iranian forces acted swiftly in response to the aggression, setting ablaze several oil installations that serve US interests in a proportional response aimed at inflicting significant damage on enemy assets.
The IRGC also issued a warning to US and Israeli forces, stating that any further attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure would trigger an even more severe retaliation, until “complete destruction” is achieved.
