"The operation was designed to maintain continuous and sustained fire over a five-hour period," it said.

The strikes were conducted jointly with the fighters of Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement, the Corps noted.

The movement cooperated by firing "large numbers of attack drones and missiles," the IRGC stated, adding that the combined strikes targeted "more than 50 objectives across the occupied territories."

"This powerful and unified front inflicted painful blows on military bases of the child-killing regime, from [the occupied port of] Haifa in the north, Tel Aviv in the center, and Be'er Sheva in the south of the occupied territories."

The 40th wave of the Corps' counteroffensive additionally hit US bases in the region such as al-Azraq in Jordan and al-Kharj in Saudi Arabia.

IRGC Claims Effects and Blame

The IRGC said that, "As Zionist regime media sources themselves have admitted and confirmed, the launch of missiles from Iran towards Israel has increased noticeably over the past 24 hours, and Zionist casualties have risen exponentially."

The Corps added that the deadly strikes are continuing, rendering existence for the Israeli regime's illegal settlers into "life from siren to siren" and prolonged confinement in shelters.

"The strikes confronted the enemy with a new reality on the ground," the IRGC stated.

The overall situation, the IRGC added, was "the most significant outcome of the war brought about by the lying [US President Donald] Trump and the malicious [Israeli prime minister Benjamin] Netanyahu."

Earlier Waves and US Targets

The IRGC said earlier phases included a 39th wave staged "in memory of the martyrs" that targeted "the criminal and terrorist US army in the Persian Gulf region with multi-warhead Qadr and Khorramshahr missiles as well as Emad missiles," and the Corps expressed appreciation for "the effective, heroic, and courageous attacks by the Resistance forces."

A previous statement detailed the 38th phase as carried out by the IRGC Navy, saying two simultaneous heavy missile strikes targeted the al-Adiri helicopter base, leaving numerous American troops scattered and sending more than 100 wounded to al-Jaber and al-Mubarak hospitals in Kuwait.

The IRGC also said Iranian missiles and drones struck key infrastructure at the US base at the Mina Salman port in Bahrain and hit Camp Patriot, equipment hangars, and troop accommodation and assembly facilities at the Mohammad al-Ahmad and Ali al-Salem naval bases in Kuwait.

The Corps concluded by stressing that the confrontation with the United States and the Israeli regime would continue, asserting, "We think only of the enemy’s complete surrender, and we will end the war only when the shadow of war is lifted from the country."

Operation True Promise 4 began momentarily after Washington and Tel Aviv began their latest round of unprovoked aggression towards the Islamic Republic late last month.
