As part of operations to protect the homeland’s skies, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) air defense systems, under the control of the integrated air defense network, intercepted and destroyed two MQ-9 drones over Firuzabad and Bandar Abbas, and another drone over the skies of Tabriz.
🔹 The total number of drones destroyed so far has reached 112 of various types, including combat, reconnaissance, and suicide drones.
🔹 With the support of the Iranian people’s sincere response to the Supreme Leader’s initial call and their massive presence in the International Quds Day march, soldiers of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, the IRGC’s Aerospace and Naval forces, and Hezbollah successfully executed the 45th wave of Operation Sadeq-4, under the blessed code “O Owner of Time,” on Friday evening, targeting American-Zionist enemy objectives.
🔹 In this operation, large numbers of solid-fuel Khaibar Shikan missiles and attack drones were launched with high effectiveness against enemy targets. The destruction of the Northern Command infrastructure of the occupying Zionists and US troop gathering sites, after they were warned to withdraw from the area, was among the main strategic objectives of this operation.
🔹 To achieve these objectives, Hezbollah drones and IRGC missiles targeted locations in Haifa, Caesarea, the towns of Zarait and Shlomi, as well as the Holon military-industrial complex.
🔹 After warning the attacking US forces, including the Al Dhafra and Erbil bases, to leave the area, their gathering sites were identified and heavily bombarded by missiles and drones belonging to the Iranian Navy and Army.
🔹 One hour ago, the 46th wave of Operation Sadeq-4 was carried out, in the shortest interval after the previous wave, targeting American and Zionist centers and forces.
🔹 Ten hiding and settlement sites of Zionist leaders and three US gathering and hiding sites in the region were identified and targeted to pursue the criminal US and Zionist leaders.
🔹 In this operation, seven points in Tel Aviv, two points in Rishon Lezion, and one point in Shoham in the occupied territories were targeted with missiles and drones, in addition to three sites of US leaders’ gatherings at Malik Sultan, Victoria, and Erbil bases.
🔹 It is not too late for the Quds Day march to become a march toward Jerusalem. With God’s will, the prayers of Muslims worldwide will be raised in Al-Aqsa Mosque. By the injustice suffered by our martyrs, every drop of blood shed in vain will be avenged, and the damages inflicted will be compensated. US and Zionist leaders, beware! The sky and earth cannot protect you, and the gates of hell will not close until the last criminal killer of children is destroyed.
