Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it has begun what it described as its most intense and powerful operation since the start of the ongoing war. According to Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, missiles were launched overnight at various targets in Israel and at US installations in the region.

The IRGC stated that it will continue its attacks with precision and determination until the enemy fully surrenders, declaring that the war will end only when the shadow of conflict is removed from Iran. In a Pentagon briefing on Tuesday, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the United States would not retreat until the enemy is completely and finally defeated.

Early Wednesday morning, air raid sirens sounded across central Israel as the Israel Defense Forces warned of missile launches from Iran. No casualties were reported, according to initial information.
