Tehran, Iran – Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the start of the 22nd wave of Operation True Promise 4, saying it has fired a large barrage of missiles toward Israel.

In a statement, the IRGC said the operation began under the code phrase “Ya Hossein ibn Ali (peace be upon him)” and involved the launch of Khorramshahr‑4, Kheibar, and Fattah missiles.

Officials described these as heavy missiles fired toward the heart of Israel as part of the latest stage of the ongoing military campaign.

The IRGC’s public relations department portrayed the wave as a continuation of its efforts after previous phases of the operation.

Khorramshahr‑4 and Kheibar missiles are long‑range systems capable of carrying heavy payloads, and the Fattah missile has been described as a hypersonic system with advanced flight characteristics.

Assessments of the impact of the strikes remain unclear, with official Iranian statements focusing on the launches rather than confirmed damage or casualties.

The operation comes amid a wider regional conflict, with repeated missile barrages from Iran alongside ongoing strikes and counterstrikes.
