Nournews: This operation was conducted in response to the enemy’s crimes in attacking the petrochemical power plants of Asaluyeh and parts of their facilities.

Nournews: The Public Relations Office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced details of the 99th wave of Operation True Promise 4, stating that since early dawn today, naval and aerospace forces of the IRGC, under the same code phrase and dedication, conducted a combined operation in response to enemy aggression against petrochemical facilities in Asaluyeh.

They targeted U.S. bases and interests in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, as well as military gathering centers and command-and-control hubs in the occupied Palestinian territories, using ballistic and cruise missiles and attack drones.

First phase of attacks

In the first phase, the largest petrochemical complex belonging to American companies Sadara, ExxonMobil, and Dow Chemical Company located in the Al-Jubail region of Saudi Arabia, as well as the major petrochemical complex of the American company Chevron Phillips Chemical based in Al-Ju'aymah, Saudi Arabia, were effectively targeted by medium-range missiles and several suicide drones.

A container ship belonging to the Zionist regime, which was tasked with transporting military equipment via the port of Khor Fakkan in the United Arab Emirates without passing through the Strait of Hormuz, was precisely struck by Islamic fighters following an intelligence operation and missile attack.

The destruction of this vessel serves as a warning to all ships intending to cooperate with the Zionist regime and the United States in any manner.

The position of the U.S. aircraft carrier strike group “CVN-72” in the depths of the Indian Ocean was also targeted using long-range naval cruise missiles.

Strategic statements

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps once again declared that if the terrorist U.S. military crosses red lines, the response will extend beyond the region.
We have not initiated attacks on civilian targets and will not do so; however, we will not hesitate to retaliate against vile aggressions targeting civilian infrastructure.

The imprudent leaders of the United States, who have placed all their interests at the disposal of the Zionists, lack even the capacity to calculate how many of their critical assets are within range of our forces in response to attacks on our infrastructure.

We will act against the infrastructure of the United States and its partners in a manner that deprives America and its allies of the region’s oil and gas for years.
Regional partners of the United States should know that until today, due to good-neighborly considerations, we exercised restraint and considered limitations in selecting retaliatory targets; from now on, all such considerations have been lifted.

Massive Drone Strikes by the Army on Electricity and Petrochemical Infrastructure

The Islamic Republic of Iran Army announced in Statement No. 58 that, in response to aggression by the U.S.-Zionist enemy against petrochemical industries and other national infrastructure, since last night it has conducted large-scale drone attacks targeting:

A power generation unit and fuel storage source for petrochemical industries in southern occupied territories near Dimona
The U.S. Navy maintenance and repair center at Jebel Ali Port in the United Arab Emirates
Radar systems and troop housing facilities of U.S. forces at Ahmad al‑Jaber Air Base in Kuwait

The Dimona industrial region is highly sensitive for the Zionist regime’s economy and security and hosts its largest chemical complex in the Negev Desert.
The power generation unit and fuel storage facilities located there supply chemical materials used for certain military applications.

The U.S. Navy maintenance and repair center at Jebel Ali Port in the United Arab Emirates, as one of the largest docking ports for U.S. naval vessels in the region, provides significant logistical and maintenance support to the U.S. fleet.

The Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base in Kuwait hosts U.S. military forces, including radar systems and hangars capable of accommodating various types of military aircraft, and the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing of the U.S. Air Force is stationed at this base.

The statement added that this series of honorable operations is dedicated to the anonymous soldiers, creative engineers, hardworking laborers, and all those involved in the oil, petrochemical, and energy industries of the country—pioneers who, during wartime, with steadfastness, expertise, and remarkable sacrifice, prevented the halt of production, light, and hope in this land.
