Tehran: An official source in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced today, Sunday, that the Guards’ Aerospace Force has begun implementing the third phase of Operation “True Promise 3,” which includes large-scale missile and drone attacks against targets inside the occupied territories, in response to the crimes committed by the Zionist entity against civilian areas in Iran.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the source explained that this phase of the operation was launched ahead of schedule due to the extent of the human and material damage caused by the recent Israeli attacks. The source pointed out that the second phase of the operation, which was carried out last night, recorded an unprecedented number of missiles launched, along with high accuracy in hitting sensitive military targets inside the entity.

The official confirmed that Iranian missiles successfully penetrated seven layers of Israeli air defense systems, causing growing concern within the Israeli War Cabinet and prompting Tel Aviv to request the immediate transfer of European SAMP-T air defense systems from Ukraine to the occupied territories, according to informed sources.

Tehran emphasized that retaliatory operations will continue as long as the Israeli aggression continues, that there are no red lines in defending the security and sovereignty of the Islamic Republic, and that the enemy will receive more painful responses in the event of repeated attacks.
