Iran's IRGC and Army launched massive hypersonic missile and drone strikes against Israeli military defense factories and multiple US bases across the Persian Gulf, while Israel claimed to have destroyed an Iranian anti-satellite space center.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Army have executed Waves 55 and 56 of "Operation True Promise 4," launching large-scale hypersonic missile and drone strikes against Israeli strategic defense centers and US military bases. As the devastating regional war sparked by the US-Israeli "Epic Wrath" offensive continues, Al Mayadeen - قناة الميادين, a pro-Resistance Axis network, reported that the Iranian armed forces unleashed "super heavy, precise, and hypersonic missiles" alongside suicide drones to cripple the military infrastructure of the "Zionist entity" and its allies.
Within Israel—referred to in the Arabic dispatches as the "occupied territories"—the Iranian Army specifically targeted the "Rafael" weapons manufacturing center and the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) facilities. According to a statement shared by شبكة قدس الإخبارية, a Palestinian news network fiercely critical of Israel, the strikes were framed as a response to "the crimes of the American-Zionist enemy." The Iranian military claimed these attacks aimed to disrupt the development of the "Iron Dome, Spike missiles, and cyber technologies," as well as the "Arrow" missile shield produced at the IAI center. قناة الميادين | عاجل further noted that the IRGC targeted aerial refueling centers in "Tel Aviv" and "Ben Gurion" airport.
The IRGC expanded the operation regionally to strike "centers of the terrorist US army," according to QudsN. Targeted installations included the Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE, the Juffair Naval Base and Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, and the Al Udeid base in Qatar, as reported by تلفزيون سوريا. Concurrently, the IRGC's drone unit launched "fatal attacks" against "anti-revolutionary groups" in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, according to [[جنوب لبنان]راصد العدو](https://t.me/rasedal3ado138e), a channel aligned with Hezbollah's "Resistance" narrative.
To execute these coordinated strikes, the Iranian armed forces deployed an extensive ballistic arsenal. The IRGC announced the use of precise hypersonic missiles including "Fattah, Emad, and Ghadr," alongside medium-range solid-fuel missiles such as "Fateh, Zulfiqar, and Dezful," according to QudsN. The military communiques contained heavy religious and ideological messaging; Wave 56 was officially dedicated to the "master of the martyrs of the resistance, Hajj Qasem Soleimani," and the "defenders of the shrine," while Wave 55 was dedicated to martyrs of the Iran-Iraq war.
In a counter-development amid the Iranian barrage, the Israeli military announced a successful high-value strike deep inside Iranian territory. قناة الجزيرة reported an urgent statement from the Israeli Army, claiming that the Israeli Air Force had "destroyed a space center in Tehran that was used to develop offensive capabilities for targeting satellites."

The language is heavily propagandistic, employing terms like 'American-Zionist enemy' and 'terrorist US army,' which have been preserved in quotes to accurately reflect the posture and narrative of the Resistance Axis media.
