IRGC Launches Fifteenth Wave of Operation True Promise III with Intensified Strikes on Occupied Territories

Tehran, The Gulf Observer: The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) launched the fifteenth wave of Operation True Promise III on Thursday afternoon, signaling a new and intensified phase in Iran’s ongoing military response campaign.

According to official Iranian sources, this latest wave consisted of a large-scale coordinated assault involving more than 100 combat and martyrdom (suicide) drones targeting military installations and facilities linked to the military industry in Haifa and Tel Aviv, in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The IRGC stated that the latest escalation was aimed specifically at disabling key components of the Zionist regime’s anti-missile defense systems, with a strategic focus on neutralizing military and industrial infrastructure.

“This phase is part of a broader strategy to maximize pressure on the Zionist regime’s military capabilities through targeted missile and drone operations,” read an official IRGC statement.

The situation in the region continues to escalate as Israeli attacks persist, with Iranian cities increasingly coming under direct threat. Civilian areas in several Iranian provinces have reportedly been struck in recent days, raising alarms over the humanitarian impact of the ongoing conflict.

Iran’s Ministry of Health confirmed on Thursday that at least 224 people have lost their lives due to what it described as “brutal and indiscriminate” strikes by the Zionist regime.

As tensions deepen and regional instability escalates, the international community continues to monitor developments closely, amid growing concerns over the potential for further escalation and its broader implications for Middle East security.
