- IRGC conducts naval, missile, and drone attacks across the Middle East, including 'Israel' and US bases.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has released footage of the 98th wave of its military campaign, Operation True Promise 4, targeting US and 'Israeli' assets across the region.
According to the IRGC, this escalation honors Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi and the so-called “women of the street front.”
Naval and regional strikes
The IRGC reported that its naval forces destroyed an 'Israeli'-linked container ship, SDN7, using a cruise missile. The US amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA-7) was also targeted and reportedly forced to retreat.
Missile and drone strikes hit Camp Buehring and Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait, along with a drone production facility in the United Arab Emirates.
Direct hits on 'Israel'
Ballistic missiles reportedly breached air defenses to strike strategic sites in Haifa, Tel Aviv, and chemical plants in Beersheba. The IRGC warned that further hostile actions in the Persian Gulf or Strait of Hormuz would be met with “decisive resistance.”
Regional impact
This latest wave signals a major escalation of the February 2026 conflict, heightening tensions in the region and raising concerns over global energy supply disruptions.
