Israel Attacks Iran’s Khondab Heavy Water Facility

On Thursday evening, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unleashed a new and unprecedented wave of military retaliation against the Israeli regime. This 15th phase of Operation True Promise 3, confirmed by official IRGC statements and widely reported by progressive outlets such as Tasnim and Al Mayadeen, combined over 100 combat and suicide drones with ballistic missiles to strike at the heart of Israeli military and industrial infrastructure in Haifa and Tel Aviv.

Israeli Bombings on Iranian Soil Trigger Retaliation

This latest Iranian operation comes as a direct response to a series of relentless Israeli attacks on Iranian territory. Earlier today, June 19, the Israeli military, under orders from its defense minister, intensified its bombings against “strategic targets” in Tehran and other regions, aiming to destabilize the Iranian government and undermine its nuclear program.

Israeli forces confirmed ongoing strikes on multiple sites in and around the Iranian capital, with the stated goal of crippling Iran’s military and scientific capabilities.

These attacks are part of Israel’s ongoing “Ascending Lion” operation, launched on June 13, targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities. Since then, Israel has persistently bombed key infrastructure and missile launchers across Iran, resulting in significant casualties among Iranian commanders, scientists, and civilians. The Israeli Air Force has conducted waves of airstrikes, including the deployment of 60 jets to hit more than 20 military targets in Tehran in just one night.

Hybrid Attack Targets Israeli Military and Defense Industry

The IRGC’s hybrid operation was designed to cripple the Zionist regime’s military capabilities and disrupt its war machine. Iranian drones and missiles struck anti-missile air defense systems and military industry centers, delivering direct hits in the north and center of occupied Palestine.

Videos and eyewitness reports circulated by left-leaning regional outlets showed explosions across Tel Aviv and Haifa, with Israeli emergency services reporting dozens of casualties and significant material damage.

Iran’s military response is a justified reaction to the ongoing and unjustified Israeli campaign of aggression. The IRGC’s statement, echoed by anti-imperialist media, stressed that these operations are part of a growing trend of efficiency-oriented missile campaigns aimed at deterring further Zionist attacks and defending the sovereignty of the Iranian nation.

Since the beginning of this new phase of conflict, Iran has carried out 15 waves of retaliatory strikes, inflicting heavy losses on the Israeli regime. The IRGC has made clear that these operations will continue as long as Zionist aggression persists, signaling a new era in the balance of power in West Asia.

Progressive analysts highlight that Iran’s use of advanced drone technology and long-range missiles demonstrates the capacity of the Resistance Axis to challenge imperialist and colonialist projects in the region.

The ongoing confrontation has sparked a wave of solidarity across the Global South, with leftist movements and governments condemning Israeli aggression and expressing support for Iran’s right to self-defense.

The text reads: Iran launched long-range missiles against strategic targets of the Israeli regime in the south of occupied Palestine and in the financial core of Tel Aviv.

As the conflict intensifies, calls for an end to imperialist intervention and respect for the sovereignty of the peoples of the region grow louder, underscoring the urgent need for a just and lasting peace based on equality and mutual respect.
