IRGC unleashes 27th wave of Operation True Promise 4 with new solid-fuel missiles against US and Israeli targets

Iran's IRGC begins 27th wave of Operation True Promise 4, targeting US and Israeli positions with new solid-fuel missiles and drones.

"Zionist military targets in Haifa were struck by the IRGC's Aerospace Division's new solid-fuel Kheibar-Shekan missiles - IRGC Statement"

Tehran, March 8

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps has declared the commencement of its 27th offensive under Operation True Promise 4, targeting American and Israeli positions in response to what it termed a new wave of "unprovoked US-Israeli aggression towards the Islamic Republic," Iranian state broadcaster Press TV reported.

In a formal announcement released on Saturday, the elite military wing detailed the latest phase as a series of integrated drone and missile barrages. The operation specifically directed missile counter-offensives against Israeli military infrastructure located in the northern regions of the occupied territories.

The IRGC specified that these strikes were carried out using newly developed solid-fuel missile technology by its Aerospace Division.

"In this strategic and multidimensional operation, Zionist military targets in [the occupied city of] Haifa were struck by the IRGC's Aerospace Division's new solid-fuel Kheibar-Shekan missiles, which possess terminal guidance capability up to the point of impact," the official dispatch stated.

Furthermore, the Iranian state broadcaster Press TV reported that unmanned aerial systems were deployed to strike a specific site housing American personnel.

The military statement noted that drone units "successfully targeted the location where American forces are stationed in 'Marina,' in the vicinity of the buildings of the 'Warner Brothers' company."

Simultaneously, the IRGC Navy engaged facilities linked to the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

According to the Corps, naval forces hit the command centre for unmanned surface vessels and military support hangars at Salman Port, which they described as belonging to "American terrorist forces."

Commenting on the internal situation within the occupied territories, the IRGC claimed that their monitoring suggests the Israeli administration is "attempting to create a human shield to protect its military personnel by confining residents of the occupied territories to northern and central areas."

The Iranian state broadcaster Press TV reported that the persistence of these retaliatory strikes has led to continuous emergency sirens across the region.

The IRGC noted that following these "smart attacks," the atmosphere in the occupied territories has shifted into a permanent state of "siren after siren."

The military statement concluded by affirming that the Iranian Armed Forces are prepared for a long-term escalation, warning that their units "are lying in wait for American forces with precision and planning."

Operation True Promise 4 was initiated immediately following the start of foreign strikes last Saturday.

Since then, the IRGC has reportedly launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and suicide drones at strategic interests. These have included targets in Tel Aviv, the "holy occupied city of al-Quds," and the technology centre of Be'er Sheva.

Previous reports also claim successful engagements against the US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and a destroyer in the Indian Ocean.

Solid-fuel missiles with terminal guidance? The technology escalation is alarming. This isn't just about regional politics anymore; it's about advanced warfare capabilities being deployed. Hope our defense analysts are taking notes.

The report mentions targets near 'Warner Brothers'? Strange detail. The whole situation feels like a dangerous game of tit-for-tat. As an Indian, my primary concern is for our sailors and workers in the Gulf. Their safety is paramount.

Reading this from a perspective of living in India, the terminology used ("occupied territories", "Zionist targets") is very loaded. The article seems to be presenting the IRGC statement without much critical context. A more balanced report would help.

"Permanent state of siren after siren" – what a terrifying reality for civilians caught in the middle. Whatever the geopolitical reasons, the human cost is always the worst. India has traditionally called for dialogue and de-escalation. That voice is needed now more than ever.

Operation True Promise 4, 27th wave... sounds like a sustained campaign. This will have ripple effects on trade routes through the Strait of Hormuz. Our strategic community must be planning contingencies. Jai Hind.
