As the war triggered by US\u2013Israeli strikes on Iran enters its third day, tensions continue to escalate. The IRGC said it carried out a new missile attack under what it calls \u201cOperation True Promise,\u201d claiming that key Israeli leadership and military sites were hit in \u201ctargeted and surprise attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n
There has been no independent verification of the reported strike.<\/p>\n
According to Iran\u2019s Tasnim News Agency, the IRGC\u2019s public relations office stated that the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> and the location of the Israeli Air Force commander were \u201cseverely hit\u201d during the tenth wave of operations.<\/p>\n The statement included the phrase: \u201cThe fate of the prime minister of the Zionist regime remains uncertain.\u201d<\/p>\n Iranian media repeated the claim, but Israeli officials have not issued any confirmation. Israel typically imposes restrictions on reporting damage to strategic or government facilities.<\/p>\n Iran says it has launched ten waves of missile and drone strikes since the joint US\u2013Israeli assault on Iranian territory on February 28.<\/p>\n Tehran has framed its actions as legitimate self-defense under international law, following what it describes as coordinated attacks that killed senior Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n Iranian officials say both Israeli territory and US-linked regional bases are being targeted in successive phases.<\/p>\n Following the IRGC announcement, explosions were reported in and around Jerusalem. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it detected new missile launches from Iran and activated air defense systems.<\/p>\n The confrontation has extended beyond Israel. Several Gulf countries hosting US military forces have heightened alert levels, with airspace closures and flight disruptions reported.<\/p>\n Some regional sources and social media accounts claimed that Netanyahu was in Germany at the time of the reported strike. There has been no official confirmation of that claim.<\/p>\n The Iranian Red Crescent reported that 555 people have been killed and 747 injured in Iran since the US\u2013Israeli campaign began.<\/p>\n The February 28 strikes reportedly killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other high-ranking Iranian officials.<\/p>\n As missile and drone exchanges continue, the risk of the conflict expanding into a broader regional war remains high.<\/p>\n Khamenei Dead | 40 Days of National Mourning Declared in Iran<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nTenth wave of retaliation<\/strong><\/h3>\n
