The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced the largest wave of retaliatory attacks against the Israeli-occupied territories on the second day of the joint US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.
In a brief statement on Sunday, the IRGC said it has launched the seventh and eighth waves of Operation True Promise 4 as it vowed to take revenge for the blood of the martyrs, including IRGC chief commander Major General Mohammad Pakpour.

The Israeli army radio reported that at least 38 missiles were fired from Iran toward the occupied territories. It described the operation as the largest wave of attacks by Iran.

In a development that has sent shockwaves through the global military community, Iranian armed forces on Thursday successfully targeted a US Air Force F-35 Lightning II, one of the world's most advanced stealth fighter jets.
It marks a potential turning point in modern aerial warfare and has sparked intense debate about the viability of stealth technology against determined, innovative opponents.

Iran's Jamaran news website reported on Friday that the US-Israeli intention for a one- or two-day ceasefire aims to complete a plan to launch an attack on the southern parts of Iran.
“However, Iran has maintained almost complete dominance over the enemy’s sky and space,” it added.
“The least stop in Iran’s effective attacks on this geography can make it possible for the enemy to reconstruct its radars and defensive [systems] in the occupied territories and US bases in the region,” the report emphasized.
According to the report, the balance of power has changed over the past 48 hours after the striking of an American F-35 stealth fighter by Iranian forces, continuation of the Strait of Hormuz closure and high oil prices.
The enemies have considered all these factors in the ceasefire ...
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned that the Islamic Republic will show "ZERO restraint" if its infrastructure is attacked.
"We have intelligence on Israeli plans to strike infrastructure. Once again: ZERO restraint if our infrastructure is attacked," Araghchi wrote in a post on X on Friday.
"We are men and women of principles. Iranians do not sneak attack adversaries while engaged in dialogue. Only when attacked do we powerfully respond," he added.
The warning came as the US and Israel started a fresh round of aerial aggression on Iran on February 28, some eight months after they carried out unprovoked attacks on the country.
Earlier this week, the invading coalition targeted Iran's main gas field, South Pars, in a major escalation. Tehran swiftly responded by targeting Qatar's Ras ......more below
