The IRGC announced the latest wave was carried out using a combination of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel missiles against US terrorist army forces at the Al Kharj Air Base in Saudi Arabia.

According to the IRGC statement, Al Kharj base served as the origin of aggressions against the Islamic homeland, functioning as the staging ground for US F-35 and F-16 fighter jets involved in attacks on Iran.
The base also houses fuel supply aircraft and serves as the main hub for American AWACS surveillance planes.
Fiftieth Wave Bases & Drones
In a separate statement, the spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters confirmed that the fiftieth wave of the operation struck multiple US terrorist army bases.
They include the Al Dhafra Air Base and Fujairah in the UAE, Jufair in Bahrain, Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, Al Azraq Air Base in Jordan, as well as early warning radar systems positioned throughout the region that served as protective shields for the Zionist regime.

The spokesman stated that these precise strikes were carried out by explosive and precision-strike drones operated by the Aerospace Force of the IRGC.
"Our lethal drones are pursuing, point by point, the hiding places of terrorist soldiers of the US army in the region," the spokesman stated.
"After gathering intelligence, they will precisely target every single American terrorist in the region."
Air Defense Claims
On air defense achievements, the spokesman announced that over the past hours, Iranian air defense forces successfully intercepted and shot down four additional enemy drones before they could execute their operations.

This brings the total number of enemy drones shot down since the beginning of the imposed war to 118.
Civilian Impact & Diplomacy
In a separate statement, the IRGC Public Relations department warned civilians that the defeated American-Zionist enemy, having reached a dead end in confronting Iran’s armed forces, has resorted to cowardly attacks on civilian industries.
Over the past 48 hours, the enemy has targeted civilian factories in the country, and unfortunately, a number of dear workers who were engaged in production and earning lawful sustenance were martyred while fasting.

Iran's IRGC has announced launching multiple new waves of its ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 against sensitive American and Israeli targets.
The force also called on residents living near industrial factories in which Americans hold shares to temporarily evacuate those areas to avoid potential harm.
Separately, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called on neighboring countries to expel US forces from the Middle East.
The US security umbrella in the region has proven to be full of holes and inviting rather than deterring trouble, the top diplomat posted on X.
