IRGC Announces 77th Wave of True Promise 4, Vows Relentless Strikes

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announces carrying out the 77th wave of its ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 against Israeli and American targets, deploying precision-guided Kheibar Shekan missile systems and solid-fuel Zolfaqar missiles as well as explosive-laden drones.

In a statement issued on Monday, the Corps said the latest wave struck targets across the north, center, and south of the occupied territories using “super-heavy, precision-guided Kheibar Shekan systems and attack drones.”

It added that US military bases in the region, including Ali al Salem in Kuwait, al-Kharj in Saudi Arabia, and al-Dhafra in the United Arab Emirates, were also targeted using precision-guided, solid-fuel Zolfaqar systems and kamikaze drones.

The operation was described as having been carried out with “complete success.”

Dismissal of US messaging

The IRGC also addressed earlier remarks by US President Donald Trump alleging that he had ordered a five-day pause in planned attacks on Iran’s energy sites, stating that his “contradictory behavior” would not divert the Islamic Republic from continuing its reprisal.

“Trump’s psychological operations have become worn out.”

According to the statement, it was rather Iran’s “heroic resistance and steadfastness” that had caused confusion and hesitation in the plans of the “aggressor enemy.”

This “dignified resistance” would continue as a key factor in achieving victory, the Corps asserted.

Outlook on continued operations

The IRGC concluded by emphasizing that the enemy’s retreat, alongside the presence of “brave people” on the streets across the Islamic Republic in the form of rallies in support of the country’s Islamic establishment and the continuation of military operations, would persist “until the achievement of final victory.”

Operation True Promise 4 began shortly after the Israeli regime and the United States launched their latest bout of unprovoked aggression against Iran late last month.
