Iran has claimed it carried out coordinated missile and drone strikes on more than 50 locations inside Israel, as part of the latest phase of its ongoing military campaign dubbed “Operation True Promise 4”.

According to a statement by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the 92nd wave of the operation involved joint action by its naval and aerospace forces, targeting multiple sites with ballistic missiles and suicide drones.

Iranian officials said the strikes were in response to US and Israeli actions in the region, warning that further escalation could see attacks on critical energy infrastructure, power plants and IT facilities across Israel and the wider Middle East.

The statement also claimed that US military assets were targeted, including Landing Craft Utility (LCU) vessels at Kuwait’s Shuwaikh port and a long-range 3D early warning radar system at Jabal al-Dukhan in Bahrain.

Iran further alleged that ballistic missiles struck Israel’s Ramat David airbase in southeastern Haifa, which hosts F-16 squadrons.

It said Khorramshahr-4 multi-warhead missiles were used to hit Tel Aviv and other areas.

Iranian officials also identified major regional energy and technology sites, including large AI data centre projects in the United Arab Emirates, as potential future targets.

Separately, reports said a drone attack struck Kuwait’s Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery for the third time in two weeks, causing fires in multiple units. Kuwait has also accused Iran of targeting desalination and power facilities.

The United Arab Emirates has alleged missile and drone attacks on the Fujairah oil port, which disrupted operations, while debris from a drone reportedly caused a fire at the Habshan gas facility.

Earlier, Iranian media also claimed that a second US F-35 fighter jet had been shot down over central Iran.

However, US Central Command has not responded to the claim, and there is no independent confirmation.

The situation remains fluid, with escalating claims and counterclaims raising concerns of a wider regional conflict.
