The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy of Iran executed four military operations aimed at U.S. and Israeli assets early on Tuesday, local time. This action is part of what has been termed the 88th wave of Operation True Promise 4. According to reports, Iranian naval forces launched a significant offensive against their designated targets, which included a container ship operated by Israel in the Persian Gulf.

Missile Strikes on Maritime and Land Targets

As per the statements released from Iranian sources, the Israeli vessel known as Express Halfong was struck by ballistic missiles while positioned in open waters of the Persian Gulf. Additionally, a collaborative operation targeted a location housing U.S. Marines along the coastline of the United Arab Emirates, utilizing explosive drones for the assault.

Destruction of U.S. Military Assets

Reports indicate that Iran successfully destroyed a counter-drone system associated with the U.S. Fifth Fleet, which had been operating near Manama airport in Bahrain. Moreover, two sophisticated early warning radar systems located at the “Jaber al-Ahmad” U.S. military installation in Kuwait were also compromised through drone attacks orchestrated by Iran.

Control Over Strategic Waterways Affirmed

Iran has reaffirmed its command over the Strait of Hormuz, indicating that any movement by adversarial forces will prompt a swift military response involving missile and drone strikes. This statement was highlighted in the Iranian media, emphasizing a proactive defensive posture in the region.

Ongoing Military Engagements

The 88th execution wave of Operation True Promise 4 marks a continuation of Iran’s series of retaliatory maneuvers against both U.S. and Israeli interests. The IRGC has characterized these operations as acts of self-defense, a position they assert is in line with international legal frameworks, occurring in response to perceived aggressions from the United States and Israel.

Upcoming Presidential Address

In related developments, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has announced that President Trump will deliver a televised address focusing on the ongoing military tensions with Iran. This briefing is scheduled for Thursday evening, and the announcement of the address prompted Leavitt to encourage the public to engage with the broadcast. This address is occurring amidst an escalating military engagement that has now extended into its second month, coinciding with new polling indicating growing discontent among the American populace regarding these ongoing hostilities.
