Iran strikes heart of occupied territories, US base in Qatar in 57th wave of retaliation
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has launched the 57th wave of Operation True Promise 4, striking strategic targets deep within the occupied territories and a major US air base in Qatar, according to a statement from the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters.
The operation, was dedicated to the youngest martyr of the Ramadan war, three-day-old Mojtaba, who was martyred today in his mother's arms along with his family in yet another atrocity committed by the aggressors.
In the heart of the occupied territories, Iranian forces successfully targeted command and control communication infrastructure and missile defense systems using precise, pinpoint strikes.
The operation employed a combination of advanced Iranian missiles, including the Kheibar Shekan, Emad, and Qadr systems, which hit their designated targets with high accuracy.
These strikes specifically targeted the networks enabling the occupation regime's military operations, dealing a significant blow to its command and control capabilities.
Al Udeid base in Qatar targeted
Simultaneously, the IRGC conducted a successful strike against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which hosts American terrorist forces.
The attack utilized a combination of precision-guided, medium-range, solid-fuel Zolfaghar missiles, liquid-fuel Qiam missiles, and explosive drones.
Al Udeid base serves as a central hub for US Central Command operations in the region and has been used to coordinate attacks against Iran and its allies throughout the war.
Navy destroys US fighter aircraft hangars
In a separate operation hours earlier, the IRGC Navy executed a combined missile and drone assault targeting American fighter aircraft hangars at two key installations.
The strikes successfully destroyed multiple hangars at Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain and Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE using high-explosive cruise missiles.
Al Dhafra Air Base holds particular significance as the origin point of recent aggressor and American terrorist attacks against Iranian islands in the past days.
The IRGC confirmed that following these strikes, the operational capacity of Al Dhafra base has been "severely reduced."
The IRGC Navy announced that these attacks will continue until the complete evacuation of American terrorist bases in the region.
"These strikes will continue until the complete evacuation and destruction of American terrorist bases," the IRGC Navy stated. "We call on the Muslim people of the region to stay away from these bases."
The 57th wave of Operation True Promise 4 represents the latest phase of Iran's sustained response to the US-Israeli war of aggression launched on February 28.
That aggression resulted in the martyrdom of late Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and thousands of civilians, including the Minab school massacre where around 170 young girls were killed.
Iran has consistently maintained that its retaliatory operations are legitimate self-defense under international law, targeting only American and Israeli military assets while avoiding harm to civilian infrastructure.
The IRGC has previously reported firing approximately 700 missiles and 3,600 drones at US and Zionist targets since the war began.
