Op. True Promise 4, Wave 90: Iranian missiles pound US heavy metal facilities in region

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has launched its 90th wave of Operation True Promise 4, targeting US industrial facilities in the region, including steel and aluminum industries in the UAE and Bahrain.

The IRGC said Thursday that the strikes were in retaliation for previous attacks on Iranian industrial sites and warned of further escalation if such attacks continue.

In an official statement, the IRGC's public relations office confirmed that a joint missile and drone operation had successfully destroyed critical infrastructure linked to US and Israeli military interests in the region.

The IRGC's statement detailed the destruction of US steel plants located in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and U aluminum facilities in Bahrain, which had reportedly remained intact after earlier attacks.

The operation also targeted US military weapons sites, including the Rafael arms factories and hidden positions of US forces near Manama, the capital of Bahrain.

The IRGC further reported that dozens of US personnel were killed or wounded during the attack, and that the area was immediately quarantined by security forces. Ambulance activity continued for several hours as injured personnel were evacuated.

The IRGC continued its assault on Israeli and US military assets across West Asia. The IRGC’s public relations office stated that the second phase of Wave 90 also targeted Israeli airbases in Tel Nof, Palmachim, and Ben Gurion, along with military gathering points in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Eilat, Negev, and Beersheba.

US military bases in Ahmad al-Jaber and Ali al-Salem in Kuwait, as well as al-Kharj in Saudi Arabia, were also hit with ballistic missiles and drones.

Furthermore, a radar warning system at the al-Dhafra Airbase in the UAE was confirmed destroyed during the operation. The system had been crucial in early detection of air and missile threats in the region.

The IRGC described the attacks as part of a broader strategy to retaliate for "criminal acts" committed by the US and Israel, including attacks on Iranian cities and industries.

The statement also issued a direct warning to US President Donald Trump, advising him to refrain from further actions that could escalate the terrorist war on Iran beyond the region and make the world more dangerous for the United States.

“This operation is dedicated to the families of the martyr workers who were killed in previous attacks,” the IRGC said in its statement, emphasizing that the destruction of "criminal and terrorist infrastructure" in the region would continue.

The IRGC said the second phase of the Wave 90 operation was an unequivocal message to the US and Israeli forces that any further attack on Iranian industries would be met with an even harsher response.
