BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 6. The Iranian Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shelled U.S. and Israeli positions
today, the statement of the IRGC says, Trend reports.
The statement noted that during the 98th phase of the "True
Promise 4" operation, the north and south of Tel Aviv, strategic
centers in Haifa, chemical plants and companies in Beer Sheva, and
the army's location in Petah Tikva were fired on with ballistic
missiles.
The statement pointed out that the Israeli container "SDN7" ship
was hit by a Cruise missile.
The IRGC added that the "LHA7" land-sea and helicopter carrier
ship of the U.S. army, which was carrying more than 5,000
commandos, was shelled. As a result, the ship retreated to the
southern Indian Ocean.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military
operations against Iran, striking major cities, including Tehran.
The White House cited missile and nuclear threats originating from
the Islamic Republic as justification for the attacks. The strikes
reportedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
along with several other senior officials. In response, Iran’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a large-scale
retaliatory operation against Israel and has targeted U.S.
facilities across Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE,
Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Syria using ballistic missiles, cruise
missiles, and drones.
The conflict has placed the region’s energy infrastructure and
maritime shipping under serious threat. Due to security tensions in
the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices have risen significantly.
Iran fully controls the Strait of Hormuz and allows passage only to
vessels it deems necessary.
