The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps on Sunday carried out a new round of missile strikes against Israeli targets, using strategic solid-fuel Sejjil missiles for the first time since the outbreak of the US-Israeli war of aggression on February 28.

The IRGC carried out the 54th wave of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise 4 on Sunday, March 15.

In a statement, the IRGC’s Public Relations Office said the fresh wave of strikes included the launch of superheavy Khorramshahr missiles equipped with a two-ton warhead, along with Khaybar-shekan (Khaybar-buster), Qadr, and Emad missiles.

It noted that for the first time in Operation True Promise 4, the strategic and solid-fuel missile Sejjil was fired against the centers of management and decision-making that influence the Zionist regime's air-based operations.

The IRGC also stated that the Israeli regime’s key infrastructures influential in its military and defense industries, as well as the gathering places of the Zionist regime's military forces, have been successfully targeted in the heart of the occupied territories.

The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.

The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure, Tasnim reported.

In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
