As part of the continued Operation True Promise 4, the Islamic Republic of Iran once again launched a new wave of missile and drone attacks against U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf countries and the wider region.

The drone and missile operations carried out by the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran against enemy positions and forces took place from early morning until noon today.

Israeli sources also reported hearing several loud explosions in the Gush Dan area in central occupied Palestine.

During the fourteenth and fifteenth waves of Operation True Promise 4, a large-scale missile and drone attack was launched against U.S. bases in the region as well as the occupied territories.

The U.S. Al Udeid base in Qatar, a U.S. military base in Manama, Bahrain, and an American commercial complex in the port of Sultanate of Oman were targeted.

 Simultaneous with the start of the fourteenth wave of Operation True Promise 4, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued an official statement.

IRGC Statement No. 13: The main command and headquarters building of the U.S. air base in Bahrain has been destroyed.

According to the statement, in the early hours of this morning, during the fourteenth wave of Operation True Promise 4, the Naval Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps carried out a large-scale drone and missile attack targeting the U.S. air base in the Sheikh Isa area of Bahrain. In this operation, 20 drones and three missiles struck their designated targets. The main command and headquarters building of the U.S. air base was destroyed, and its fuel storage tanks were set ablaze, with flames and smoke drawing widespread attention.

It is worth noting that since the early hours of Tuesday, March 2 (12 Esfand), U.S. bases in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Erbil have reportedly come under attack. Images released showing Iranian missiles and drones striking U.S. military bases and deployment centers in the region are said to indicate the inability of advanced THAAD and Patriot air defense systems to intercept the Iranian projectiles.

The Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in its Statement No. 8, announced the launch of offensive drone and missile operations against enemy positions and forces starting at dawn today.

According to the statement, since early morning, the Navy has targeted enemy vessels and bases in the region with surface-to-surface missiles. Meanwhile, combat and loitering attack drones operated by the Army’s ground, air, and naval forces were launched from various parts of the country, striking military sites of the Zionist regime in the occupied territories as well as U.S. forces’ bases, including Al Udeid in Qatar.

The Army further stated that both offensive and defensive operations against the aggressor enemy are continuing with full force.

U.S. Missile Stockpiles Facing Difficulties

Last night, CNN reported that the United States is facing a missile shortage.

The American network emphasized that amid the clashes between Iran and the United States, U.S. stockpiles of certain missiles have significantly declined.

CNN added that the reserves of several American missiles, including Tomahawk cruise missiles and SM-3 interceptors, have sharply decreased following engagements with Iran.

Zionists Flee to Shelters

Last night, various areas in the occupied territories—particularly Tel Aviv, the capital of the Zionist regime—were targeted with heavy, high-warhead missiles. News sources from the occupied territories reported that from last night until early morning, residents of Tel Aviv remained inside shelters out of fear of Iranian missile attacks.

As the Zionist regime’s air defense systems have effectively struggled to counter the sustained wave of Iranian missile and drone strikes, residents of the occupied territories have been forced to spend much of their time in shelters. Recently, Zionist experts have stated that shelters are incapable of protecting Israelis against Iranian missiles.

Israeli engineers and experts have warned that public shelters and reinforced rooms inside homes were not designed to withstand direct missile impacts and are therefore unable to fully protect Israelis from Iranian missile strikes.

These warnings were issued following engineers’ reports after direct Iranian missile strikes on buildings in Beit Shemesh.

The experts noted that shelters in Israel—particularly older ones—do not meet current standards and cannot provide complete protection to Israelis in the event of a direct missile hit.
