Iran Launches Its Heaviest Wave of Strikes Yet on Israel and US Facilities

Iran conducted its largest military operation since the beginning of the regional war on Wednesday night, targeting both Israeli territory and American military installations, according to Iranian state television. The broadcast described the assault as the 37th wave of Operation True Promise 4, marking the Islamic Republic’s most powerful strike against enemy forces and strategic facilities in the region.

State television reported that the operation lasted at least three hours and involved coordinated attacks using both missiles and drones. Officials highlighted the scale and intensity of the strikes, noting that this wave surpassed all previous attacks in terms of firepower and targets.

Among the weapons deployed were the Khorramshahr super-heavy missiles, a long-range ballistic system capable of striking deep into enemy territory. Iranian media stated that key targets included a satellite communications center near Tel Aviv, as well as Israeli military installations in Haifa and West Jerusalem.

The assault extended beyond Israel, with multiple US-linked targets reportedly hit. American bases in the Iraqi city of Erbil and in Kuwait were attacked, according to Iranian sources. The strikes underscore Tehran’s focus on both regional adversaries and foreign military presences, reflecting a strategic approach that combines conventional missile attacks with unmanned aerial assaults.

Iran’s state coverage emphasized the operation as a demonstration of the Islamic Republic’s growing military capabilities and its readiness to retaliate against perceived threats. Analysts note that such large-scale, multi-hour operations signal an escalation in both tactics and technology, leveraging precision-guided munitions and long-range strike systems.

The announcement of the 37th wave of Operation True Promise 4 comes amid a broader regional conflict in which Iranian forces have been targeting Israeli and US positions for weeks. Observers say the operation may significantly influence the strategic calculations of both Israel and the United States, particularly regarding defense postures and the deployment of missile defense systems in the region.
