Jerusalem [Israel], March 27 (ANI): Despite US President Donald Trump’s public peace overtures to Iran, conflict in West Asia persists. The Israel Defence Forces on Saturday said it struck the Iranian regime’s primary facility for producing missiles and sea mines in Yazd. The IDF said the site was used for planning, developing, assembling and storing advanced missiles intended to be launched from cruise platforms, submarines and helicopters against both mobile and fixed maritime targets.
“In the strikes carried out across Tehran, the Air Force targeted infrastructure and sites used by the regime to produce weaponry, with an emphasis on ballistic missile production sites,” the IDF said.
The IDF reported that, guided by Military Intelligence, the Air Force struck fire arrays of the Iranian regime across western Iran overnight. Targets included launchers and missile storage sites that the IDF said pose a threat to the State of Israel. The force said it is operating continuously to degrade the regime’s ballistic missile array and reduce threats to Israeli civilians.
Over the past day, the Israel Air Force, guided by intelligence, struck dozens of Iranian regime infrastructures in roughly 20 fighter-jet sorties in western Iran. Among the locations hit were Kermanshah and Dezful; the Air Force said it dropped about 70 munitions on sites used for storing and launching ballistic missiles and air-defence systems. The IDF also said personnel operating from those sites were killed. The Air Force reiterated it would continue operations without pause against the regime’s ballistic missile capabilities to limit attacks on Israeli citizens.
The IDF further stated that after a lull of nearly eight hours it detected a new ballistic missile attack from Iran.
On Thursday, Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps announced the execution of wave 83 of “Operation True Promise 4,” targeting key American and Israeli military installations across the region with missiles and drones. The IRGC’s public relations statement said the operation was dedicated to “the warm-hearted people of the southern strip of the country in the north of the Ever-Persian Gulf” and was conducted under the code “Ya Aba Abdullah Al-Hussein (AS).”
The IRGC said strikes hit a range of strategic assets belonging to American and Israeli forces, including storage tanks and an oil depot in Ashdod, a military personnel site in the Modi’in settlement, and a US military information-exchange centre in the region. It also claimed to have struck US military bases at Al-Dhafra and Al-Udeiri, and maintenance and storage hangars for transport aircraft and drones at Ali Al-Salem Air Base. (ANI)
