🚨🇮🇷 BREAKING - Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC):

The seventh and eighth waves of Operation True Promise 4 took place before noon today toward American-zionist targets with continuous missile fire and extensive drone launches.

The American Ali Al-Salem naval base in Kuwait has been completely put out of service following the recent attacks, and 3 maritime infrastructure structures of the American Mohammed Al-Ahmad base in Kuwait were also destroyed.

The American naval base in Mina (Port) Salman, Bahrain, was hit by 4 drones, causing severe damage to its command and support centers.

In the continuation of the attacks against the naval targets of the hostile enemy, three violating tankers belonging to America and Britain in the Arabian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz were hit by missiles and are currently on fire.

The location of American soldiers in Bahrain was targeted with two ballistic missiles, and other American bases in the region were subjected to continuous attacks, which have resulted in the killing and wounding of 560 American soldiers up to this moment.

Given the continuous sound of ambulance sirens in the American and zionist bases, as well as field reports and intelligence monitoring, we are witnessing a psychological crisis among American soldiers and zionist settlers, and certainly, with the increase of targeted pressure from the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the situation will become even tighter for them.

Finally, we remind you that the missile and drone attacks are continuing in a persistent and comprehensive manner, and the offensive achievements of the proud sons of the Iranian nation in the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will be brought to the attention of the noble Iranian nation.

And victory is only from Allah, the Almighty, the Wise.

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

So, let me count score real quick to see if I understand the situation:

Iran:

  • Completely destroyed at least 1 American base, heavily damaged multiple others
  • Killed over 500 American soldiers throughout the region
  • Cut one of the most important maritime choke-points on Earth
  • Struck dozens of targets in Israel

All that in 2 days.

Meanwhile all the US-Israel alliance has to for their aggression is they killed a bunch of civilians plus a few politicians and maybe a general.

Do I have this about right? Surely I'm missing something and it's not that one-sided right?

The 560 included wounded people. But yes, the info is from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, not from an independent third party.

Arabian gulf? Are they talking about the red sea or is this a mistranslation of Persian gulf? Because I know for a fact Iranians HATE calling the Persian gulf, the Arabian gulf.

💠 اطلاعیه شماره ۸/ سه نفتکش متخلف آمریکایی و انگلیسی مورد اصابت موشکی قرار گرفته و در حال سوختن است

✍️در اطلاعیه شماره ۸ عملیات وعده صادق ۴ روابط عمومی سپاه آمده است:

🔹موج هفتم و هشتم عملیات وعده صادق ۴ پیش ازظهر امروز به سمت اهداف آمریکایی ـ صهیونی با شلیک‌های پی در پی موشک‌ها و پرتاب پردامنه پهپادها صورت گرفت.

🔹پایگاه دریایی علی السالم آمریکا در کویت در پی حملات اخیر، کاملاً از رده فعالیت خارج و ۳ سازه زیرساختی دریایی محمد الاحمد آمریکا در کویت نیز منهدم شدند.

🔹پایگاه دریایی آمریکا در میناء (بندر) سلمان بحرین مورد اصابت ۴ فروند پهپاد قرار گرفته و خسارت شدیدی به مراکز فرماندهی و پشتیبانی آن وارد شده است.

🔹در ادامه حملات به اهداف دریایی دشمن متخاصم، ۳ نفتکش متخلف کشورهای آمریکا و انگلیس در منطقه خلیج فارس و تنگه هرمز مورد اصابت موشکی قرار گرفت و در حال سوختن است.

🔹محل استقرار نظامیان آمریکایی در بحرین با ۲ موشک بالستیک و سایر پایگاه‌های آمریکایی در منطقه مورد حملات پی در پی قرار گرفتند که این حملات منجر به کشته و زخمی شدن ۵۶۰ نظامی آمریکایی تا این لحظه شده است.

🔹با توجه به صدای مستمر آژیر آمبولانس در پایگاه های آمریکایی و صهیونی و همچنین اخبار میدانی و پایش‌های اطلاعاتی، شاهد وقوع بحران روانی در میان نظامیان آمریکایی و شهرک نشینان صهیونی هستیم و قطعاً با افزایش فشارهای هدفمند نیروهای مسلح ج.ا.ا عرصه بر آنان تنگ تر نیز خواهد شد.

🔹در پایان یادآور می‌شویم حملات موشکی و پهپادی به صورت مستمر و فراگیر ادامه دارد و دستاوردهای تهاجمی فرزندان غیور ملت ایران در نیروهای مسلح ج.ا.ا، به اطلاع ملت شریف ایران خواهد رسید.

وَمَا النَّصْرُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی

Yeah that alone makes me doubt the authenticity of this statement

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I cannot find anything so far that says any tanker has been destoryed but I can find a Cuban Article saying that Iran said they would destroy any american ship in the gulf https://www.prensa-latina.cu/2026/03/01/iran-ataca-un-petrolero-en-el-estrecho-de-ormuz/

No it looks like they got atleast one ship https://espanol.almayadeen.net/noticias/politica/2129291/iran-ataca-petrolero-en-el-estrecho-de-ormuz
