Iran Launches Coordinated Missile and Drone Assault on Israeli Targets

On June 20, 2025, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) executed a coordinated attack involving at least ten ballistic missiles and numerous drones aimed at strategic military and industrial sites across Israel, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Beersheba.

This offensive is part of the ongoing “True Promise III” military operation, representing the seventeenth wave of strikes since Israel initiated its aggressive campaign on June 13.

Advanced Weaponry Challenges Israeli Defense Systems

The IRGC’s hybrid warfare tactic merges the use of ballistic missiles such as Ghadr, Emad, and Kheibar Shekan with swarms of drones, designed to saturate and overwhelm Israeli air defenses.

The deployment of Fattah hypersonic missiles, equipped with heavier warheads, has enabled Iran to target vital infrastructure like oil refineries and power plants, striking at the core of the Zionist regime’s operational capabilities.

According to the Iranian news agency Tasnim, this strategy aims to “restrain Israel’s rabid dogs,” a pointed reference to Israel’s prior attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The effectiveness of these strikes has reportedly inflicted significant damage and psychological shock on Israeli forces.

The conflict’s roots lie in Israel’s surprise offensive on June 13, which targeted Iran’s nuclear and military sites under the pretext of preventing a nuclear weapons program. This assault abruptly ended diplomatic negotiations and escalated tensions in the region.

Israel’s actions represent imperialist aggression aimed at undermining the sovereignty of nations resisting colonial domination. Iran’s missile and drone counterattacks are framed as justified defensive measures against an occupying and expansionist power.

Despite Israeli accusations, Iran maintains that its nuclear program is peaceful, a position corroborated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has consistently affirmed Iran’s compliance with nuclear agreements.

The ongoing military escalation threatens regional peace and underscores the need for diplomatic solutions that respect sovereignty and international law.
