As soon as Iran launched the ninth phase of its retaliatory military operation, True Promise III, late Monday, Israeli regime imposed a sweeping media blackout.
According to reports, live broadcasts from the skies over Tel Aviv and Haifa, illuminated by a large barrage of Iranian missiles and drones, were abruptly cut off by regime authorities.
Simultaneously, major Western media outlets, including American broadcaster CNN, halted their live aerial coverage from multiple cities across the Israeli-occupied territories.
As the night progressed and Iranian strikes intensified, some livestreams showing the skies over the occupied land on video-streaming and social media platforms such as YouTube and Instagram were rapidly removed, deepening the media blackout.
Inside the occupied territories, the crackdown has escalated in recent days.
Israeli media outlets have confirmed the arrest of several domestic and foreign journalists for filming the multiple waves of Iranian retaliatory missile and drone attacks.
The Israeli military had previously warned that recording and sharing footage of missile and drone impacts, especially their timing and locations, would be considered “aiding the enemy during wartime.”
Since Friday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) aerospace division has carried out nine phases of Operation True Promise III, targeting sensitive and strategic Israeli sites.
On Monday morning, Iranian missiles specifically struck the Zionist regime’s command and control centers, employing advanced tactics and upgraded intelligence technologies, capabilities the IRGC attributes to the legacy and sacrifices of martyred commanders.
A day earlier, on Sunday, the IRGC announced that it had hit Israeli fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply lines in a major drone and missile operation on Haifa.
According to military analysts, these precision operations have dealt a significant blow to the regime’s image, exposing vulnerabilities and shattering the myth of its military invincibility, which has prompted it to enact a media blackout.
Mohsen Rezaee, a member of the Expediency Discernment Council, has said preconditions include reparations and security guarantees
For the ongoing conflict between Iran and the US to conclude, the latter must withdraw its military forces from the Persian Gulf, according to a member of the advisory board of Iran’s supreme leader.
Mohsen Rezaee, a retired major general and former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), added that Tehran would also seek full restitution for the damage done and ironclad security guarantees from Washington.
In an interview with Iran’s SNN TV broadcaster published on Saturday, the member of the Expediency Discernment Council said that the “presence of the US in the Persian Gulf has been the main cause of insecurity over the past 50 years.”
“The end of the war is also in our hands,” Rezaee claimed, naming the “US withdrawal from the Persian Gulf” among the key prerequisites. Additionally, Iran expects to receive reparations from the ...
The spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has accused the United States and Israel of deploying a rebranded copy of Iran’s Shahed-136 drone, designated “Lucas,” to carry out attacks on civilian infrastructure in regional countries as part of a deliberate false-flag operation aimed at framing the Islamic Republic.
In an official statement released today, the spokesman explained that after suffering military setbacks on the battlefield and failing to build political coalitions against Iran, the enemy has resorted to deception.
The statement specifically warned that the objective of these operations is to “create doubt and accuse the Islamic Republic of Iran” while sowing discord between Tehran and its neighbors, thereby undermining the legitimacy of Iran’s defensive actions.
The spokesman pointed to a series of “suspicious attacks” in recent days on facilities in friendly neighboring countries, including Turkey, Kuwait, and Iraq, which Western media outlets and hostile ...
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced the execution of the 51st wave of Operation True Promise 4, launching missile strikes against US military installations across the region in retaliation for ongoing American-Israeli aggression against the country.
The IRGC announced the latest wave was carried out using a combination of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel missiles against US terrorist army forces at the Al Kharj Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
According to the IRGC statement, Al Kharj base served as the "origin of aggressions against the Islamic homeland," functioning as the staging ground for US F-35 and F-16 fighter jets involved in attacks on Iran.
The base also houses fuel supply aircraft and serves as the main hub for American AWACS surveillance planes.
Concurrently, the spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters confirmed that the fiftieth wave of the operation struck multiple US terrorist army bases.
They include the Al Dhafra Air Base and Fujairah in the UAE, Jufair in ...
