The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the launch of wave 65 of Operation True Promise 4, striking key targets across the West Asia region.
Precision-guided missiles targeted the Haifa and Asdod oil refineries, among the largest oil facilities in the zionist entity, alongside multiple security installations and military support centers.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps announced on Thursday that it had targeted a US F-35 Lightning II in the skies over central Iran at dawn.
In a statement, the IRGC said the advanced fighter jet was engaged during the early hours, adding that the aircraft’s fate remains unclear and is currently under investigation. The group noted that there is a strong possibility the jet may have crashed, though no further details were immediately available.
The United States Central Command confirmed that the US F-35 Lightning II made an emergency landing following a combat mission over Iran.
Spokesperson Tim Hawkins said the aircraft landed safely at a regional US air base and that the pilot is in stable condition.
“We are aware of reports that a U.S. F-35 aircraft conducted an emergency landing at a regional U.S airbase after flying a combat mission over Iran. The aircraft landed safely, and the pilot is in stable condition. This incident is under investigation,” Hawkins stated.
The event marks the first reported instance of Iran hitting a US fifth-generation fighter since the start of the US-zionist war on Iran in late February. In fact, it is the first recorded instance of an F-35 being hit in combat ever.

Wave 64, OTP 4: IRGC strikes Ben Gurion airport, Haifa refineries
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the launch of wave 64 of Operation True Promise 4 early Thursday, against multiple targets in the occupied Palestinian territories.
In a statement released by its Public Relations Office, the IRGC said the operation targeted sites in central and northern areas in the entity, including Ben Gurion Airport, the main hub for the regime’s combat assembly, operations, and logistical support, as well as fuel supply infrastructure. Additional targets reportedly included areas in Haifa, hosting troop concentrations and oil refineries, along with sites in Rishon LeZion.
The IRGC added that a myriad of missiles were deployed in the operations, including Ghadr, Emad, Kheibar Shekan, and 9 multi-warhead Khorramshahr missiles.
US Navy Fifth Fleet targeted yet again
The statement further reported that the United States Navy’s Fifth Fleet had been struck by medium-range, liquid and solid fuel missile systems.
According to the IRGC, the operations are part of a broader response to the US-zionist aggression, noting that millions of Israeli settlers have been forced into shelters since the previous wave of attacks.
The IRGC said wave 64 is dedicated to the leaders of the Islamic Revolution and all martyrs of the Sacred Defense, the defenders of the shrines, and those martyred in the ongoing aggression on the country.
