The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran announced the launch of what it described as its most intense military operation since the recent escalation involving United States and Israel. According to statements released through Iranian state media, the operation included several hours of missile strikes directed at targets associated with U.S. and Israeli interests.
Iranian military authorities said the attacks were part of a broader response to earlier military actions carried out by American and Israeli forces in the region. Among the weapons reportedly used during the operation was the Khorramshahr medium-range ballistic missile, considered one of the most powerful systems in Iran’s strategic missile arsenal.
Officials stated that the strikes were intended to increase military pressure on Iran’s adversaries and demonstrate the country’s capacity to respond forcefully to hostile actions. Reports indicated that missile launches continued for nearly three hours as part of what Iranian authorities described as a sustained wave of attacks.
Iranian officials also emphasized that their operations would continue as long as the conflict in the region persists. Statements from military leaders suggested that the ultimate goal is to force their opponents to halt hostilities.
The latest escalation highlights the growing tensions across the Middle East, where confrontations involving regional and global powers continue to intensify. International observers warn that continued exchanges of strikes could increase the risk of a wider regional conflict.
