IRGC confirms "Truthful Promise 3" strikes on Israel
Shafaq News/ On Friday, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed the launch of hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones toward Israel in a sweeping retaliatory campaign, codenamed Operation Truthful Promise 3. In a statement, the IRGC's public relations department reported that units from its Aerospace Force deployed a mix of precision-guided ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial systems targeting what it described as 'the military bases and airfields from which the criminal aggression on Iran was launched.' The operation, the statement continued, also extended to Israeli military-industrial facilities believed to be involved in the production of missiles and other weapons. Field reports, satellite imagery, and intelligence cited by the IRGC indicated that 'dozens of ballistic missiles successfully struck strategic targets.' The IRGC noted that 'the enemy failed to confront the waves of missile strikes,' suggesting that Iranian projectiles had penetrated several layers of Israeli air defenses, including those supported by the United States. The launch came in response to Israel's Operation Rising Lion, which targeted military and nuclear sites across Iran. Strikes hit locations in Natanz, Fordow, Tehran, Hamedan, and East Azerbaijan province. Iranian media later confirmed the deaths of several senior IRGC commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians during the Israeli offensive.

Supporters of Iraqi armed factions protest against Israeli strikes on Iran
Shafaq News/ Dozens of supporters of Iran-aligned armed factions in Iraq staged a protest in central Baghdad on Friday evening, denouncing Israel's military strikes on Iranian territory and condemning the alleged use of Iraqi airspace in the operation. A security source told Shafaq News that demonstrators gathered near the Suspension Bridge (al-Jisr al-Mu'allaq), one of the capital's key access points to the Green Zone, to express solidarity with Iran following the air raids that targeted military and nuclear facilities in multiple Iranian provinces. The demonstration unfolded under tight security measures, with Law Enforcement Forces heavily deployed in and around Tahrir Square. Authorities also took precautionary steps by shutting down the Suspension Bridge to prevent escalation or unauthorized access to sensitive areas of the capital. The protest follows a series of sharp condemnations issued by major Iran-aligned groups, including Kataib Hezbollah, Harakat Al-Nujabaa, and Asaib Ahl al-Haq, all of which warned of potential retaliation and accused the United States of complicity in Israel's Operation Rising Lion that killed senior Iranian commanders, scientists, and civilians.

IRGC Commander Hossein Salami killed in Israeli strike on Tehran
Shafaq News/ Major General Hossein Salami, the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed in an Israeli strike that targeted the Iranian capital, Tehran. 'The attack struck the IRGC command site as Major General Salami was performing critical responsibilities to safeguard the homeland's security,' the IRGC said. Born in 1960 in Vaneshan, Golpayegan County, Isfahan Province, Salami joined the IRGC in the early years of the Islamic Republic and served in multiple roles during the Iran-Iraq war. Over the decades, he held senior military and academic positions, including the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force and deputy commander of the IRGC, before being appointed as Commander-in-Chief in May 2019. He was widely regarded as one of the key architects of Iran's military doctrine, particularly in missile development and asymmetric warfare.
