According to state media, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed, in the early hours of Wednesday (11), to have launched its “most intense and heaviest operation” since the start of the war.
Iran said its attack involved missile launches, including the Khorramshahr long-range ballistic missile, at targets in Israel and at US facilities in the region, the report said.
“We will continue our sustained attacks with purpose and strength, and in the continuation of this war we think only of the complete surrender of the enemy,” the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said, adding: “The war will only end when the shadow of war is removed from our country.”
At a Pentagon press conference on Tuesday, Pete Hegseth said the US will not relent until “the enemy is completely and decisively defeated,” adding that this will be done on the US timeline.
This morning, sirens sounded in central Israel after the Israel Defense Forces warned of missile launches from Iran. There were no reports of injuries.
What is happening in the Middle East?
The United States and Israel are at war with Iran. The conflict began on February 28, when a coordinated attack between the two countries killed Ali Khamenei in Tehran.
Several high-ranking officials of the Iranian regime were also killed. Furthermore, the US claims to have destroyed dozens of the country’s ships, as well as air defense systems, planes and other military targets.
In retaliation, the ayatollah regime carried out attacks against several countries in the region, such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq and Oman. Iranian officials say they are targeting only U.S. and Israeli interests in those nations.
More than 1,200 civilians have died in Iran since the start of the war, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. The White House, in turn, registered at least seven deaths of American soldiers in direct relation to the Iranian attacks.
