Tehran [Iran], March 27 (ANI): Even as US President Trump signalled a temporary easing in operations against Iran—saying Iran sought a seven-day pause on American strikes targeting its energy infrastructure and he extended the window to 10 days to April 6—the combined US-Israel strikes have continued.
An analysis by the Institute for the Study of War said the combined force has continued to strike Iranian missile forces and launchers as well as missile storage and production facilities. Strikes targeting Iran’s defence industrial base have intensified.
The think tank reported the combined force likely struck the 7th Artesh Air Force Tactical Airbase in Shiraz, Fars Province. The combined strikes reportedly hit the IRGC Ground Forces Ansar ol Hossein Provincial Unit in Hamedan City, Hamedan Province. The IDF also struck an IRGC headquarters around Bonab in East Azerbaijan Province.
Citing satellite imagery from March 15, the think tank said significant damage was inflicted to Iranian naval and air infrastructure at the IRGC 4th Sarallah Naval District in Bushehr Province. The 4th Sarallah Naval District controls the central Persian Gulf, including the South Pars gas field.
On March 25 and 26, the combined force conducted strikes marking the north-eastern-most strikes carried out so far in the war. Meanwhile, the IDF announced on Friday that it killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy Commander Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri in Bandar Abbas.
Iran likewise continued retaliatory operations. The IRGC announced the execution of wave 83 of Operation True Promise 4 in the early hours of Friday, saying it targeted key American and Israeli military installations across the region with missiles and drones.
According to an IRGC public relations statement, the strikes hit a range of strategic assets belonging to American and Israeli forces: storage tanks and the oil depot in Ashdod; a military personnel site in the Modi’in settlement; a US military information exchange centre in the region; American military bases at Al-Dhafra and Al-Udeiri; and maintenance and storage hangars for transport aircraft and drones at Ali Al-Salem Air Base. Additional reported targets included fuel tanks for US jets and fighter aircraft and the maintenance and repair hangar for the Patriot missile system at Sheikh Isa Base. (ANI)
