Israeli Media: The Israeli Air Force launched a new strike in Tehran
Shafaq News/ The Israeli Air Force launched a new strike on Tehran, Israeli media reported on Friday. Footage circulating on social media appeared to show Iranian air defenses engaging incoming Israeli aircraft over the capital, with anti-aircraft fire lighting up the night sky. The strike came shortly after Iran launched a large-scale attack involving hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones aimed at Israel. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed the operation and identified it as Operation Truthful Promise 3. Iran's offensive was framed as a direct response to Operation Rising Lion, an Israeli campaign that targeted key military and nuclear sites across the country. Strikes hit locations in Natanz, Fordow, Tehran, Hamedan, and East Azerbaijan province. Iranian media later confirmed that several senior IRGC commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians were killed during the Israeli offensive.

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.
