Iran says operation strike U.S. and Israeli sites in latest escalation
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it carried out a series of strikes early Friday, including an attack on the Al-Dhafra military base in the United Arab Emirates, as part of an ongoing escalation involving Israel and the United States.

The IRGC stated that the operation corresponded to the 66th wave of attacks, dedicated to “the martyrs of the recent attacks” attributed to U.S. and Israeli actions against Iran. According to the statement, targets included West Jerusalem, Haifa, and U.S. military bases in the region.
Iranian military sources said the strikes were conducted using “super-heavy, precision missiles with multiple warheads” as well as destructive drones. The IRGC described the operation as successful.
Israeli forces reported detecting at least four waves of bombardments over Jerusalem. Explosions were heard in the city and were possibly linked to interception efforts. Iranian officials also indicated that military targets in Jerusalem and Haifa were hit.
The attacks followed recent remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who confirmed that Israel had acted independently in a strike on gas infrastructure at Parl Sur. He also stated that Iran had been left without “capabilities to produce uranium or ballistic missiles.”
In response, the IRGC said Netanyahu “has embarked on a cowardly and already lost war against Iran,” adding that the conflict is being used to cover internal crises and previous defeats. The statement also referenced controversies related to the Epstein files in connection with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Iranian authorities warned that their response so far has been limited. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated: “Our response to Israel’s attack on our infrastructure used only a fraction of our power. The only reason we exercised restraint was out of respect for the requested de-escalation. There will be no restraint if they attack our infrastructure again.”
Araqchi added that any resolution to the conflict, which Iran says began on February 28, must include compensation for damage to Iranian civilian infrastructure.
The latest developments mark one of the most sustained sequences of strikes since the conflict began, indicating a continued escalation with potential regional implications.
