The Revolutionary Guard Launches 'Highly Accurate' Missiles in Wave 34

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced the use of highly accurate missiles in its 34th wave of Operation 'Promise of Truth 4', targeting military sites associated with the US and Israel.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has declared the launch of 'highly accurate' missiles equipped with warheads weighing over one ton during the 34th wave of its Operation 'Promise of Truth 4'. This operation aimed at what the guard describes as military bases and support centers linked to the United States and Israel. Among the missiles used are the 'Qadr', 'Emad', 'Fattah', and 'Kheibar hypersonic missiles', which were said to have targeted gatherings of American troops at the Al Dhafra and Al Jufair bases in the Gulf region.

The term 'highly accurate' refers to a category of missiles with a Circular Error Probability (CEP) of less than 5 to 10 meters, indicating their precision in striking specific targets without requiring area coverage. The Iranian media quoted Major General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the aerospace force of the Revolutionary Guard, stating that the Iranian military plans to increase both the power and frequency of its missile launches moving forward, marking a significant shift in their military strategy.

Statements from Ahmad Mousavi, the aerospace commander, highlighted a new directive that all launched missiles would now have warheads weighing no less than a ton, reflecting Iran's escalating military capabilities amid ongoing tensions in the region. This development may heighten concerns among nations, particularly the US and Israel, regarding the balance of power in the Middle East and could provoke further military responses or diplomatic efforts to stabilize the situation.
