Iran warns missile sirens on Israeli-occupied territories will never be turned off

Tehran – IRNA – Iran's Central Command of the Armed Forces "Khatam al-Anbiya" warned that missile warning sirens on the occupied territories will not be turned off, as retaliatory strikes on Israeli targets continue. The command issued an order for the evacuation of settlers.

In a video address published on Monday, Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari spoke about the progress of Iran's "True Promise 4" operation, which was launched following the illegal American-Israeli aggression and the assassination of the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, which constituted a gross violation of the country's sovereignty.

According to the spokesperson, in the tenth phase of the operation, Iranian "Kheibar" missiles were launched at the headquarters of the criminal regime in Tel Aviv, as well as at military facilities and security centers in Haifa and several targets in East Quds.

"We had already warned about the expansion of attacks on bases occupied by the aggressor enemies, and said that the sirens in Israel will not fall silent," he added.

He also advised Israeli settlers to immediately leave the occupied territories and stay away from military bases, security centers, and buildings belonging to the Zionist regime.

Earlier, as part of "True Promise-4" operation, Iranian forces launched four cruise missiles at the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, forcing it to retreat to the southeast of the Indian Ocean, he noted.

Zolfaghari also stated that as a result of Iran's retaliatory strikes, the US base "Ali Al Salem" in Kuwait was knocked out of action, and American naval facilities in the Arab country were destroyed.

Meanwhile, he added, four Iranian drones struck the US naval base at Bahrain's Port Salman and seriously damaged its command center and support services.

According to the spokesperson, Iranian missiles hit three oil tankers belonging to the US and the UK in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, setting the vessels on fire.

Two Iranian ballistic missiles were launched at the US Armed Forces base in Bahrain. Zolfaghari also reported that Iranian Air Force aircraft successfully struck American bases in Arab countries of the Persian Gulf and the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region in Iraq.

Furthermore, he said, at least 560 American servicemen were killed or wounded as a result of Iran's retaliatory strikes.

The regimes in Washington and Tel Aviv launched an unprovoked military operation on February 28. So far, at least 555 Iranians have been killed as a result of the terrorist airstrikes.

Iran began rapidly responding to the criminal aggression by launching missile strikes and drones at Israeli-occupied territories, as well as at US bases in regional countries.

In a lighter moment during the address, Zolfaghari remarked: "I would advise Mr. Trump to withdraw from Iran and go back to launching his coins so he can continue robbing his own people. Perhaps he should create a 'Jew in Islamic World Coin' — it would suit his track record perfectly."
