“If people are with us, no problem will threaten the country… I believe that with unity and national solidarity, we will overcome any crisis,” he said.

Hours earlier, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it had established aerial dominance over Israeli territory after launching the 11th wave of its “True Promise III” operation using Fattah-1 hypersonic missiles.

The IRGC described the attack as “the beginning of the end for the Zionist army’s mythical air defense,” stating that Iranian projectiles successfully penetrated Israel’s missile defense system and struck strategic targets in occupied territory.

Before the latest wave of “True Promise III” began, the IRGC issued warnings of strikes targeting the Neve Tzedek area, a strategic zone southwest of Tel Aviv due to its population density and economic significance.

Amid the military escalation, Iran retaliated on Tuesday with a ballistic missile attack on Israel, leaving at least 1,800 wounded. Simultaneously, air raid sirens sounded in cities including Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem. Explosions and fires were also reported in central and northern Israel.

The Iranian offensive follows days of clashes in which Israel’s strikes on military and civilian targets in Iran killed at least 128 people. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it had destroyed Israeli fuel production centers and defense systems.
