Operation True Promise 4: Iran Intensifies 83rd Wave Of Retaliatory Missile And Drone Attacks On US And Israeli Targets

Even as US President Donald Trump indicated a possible easing of operations against Iran, stating that Tehran had requested a seven-day pause in American strikes on its energy infrastructure, he extended the deadline to 10 days until April 6. Despite this, joint US-Israel strikes have continued.

Trump’s Iran Strike Pause Of 7 Days

According to an analysis by the Institute for the Study of War, the combined forces have persisted in targeting Iranian missile systems, including launchers, storage facilities, and production sites. The report further notes an escalation in attacks on Iran’s defence industrial base. The think tank suggests that the joint forces likely struck the 7th Artesh Air Force Tactical Airbase located in Shiraz, in Fars Province.

Additionally, the combined forces reportedly targeted the IRGC Ground Forces’ Ansar ol Hossein Provincial Unit in Hamedan City, Hamedan Province. The Israel Defense Forces also carried out strikes on an IRGC headquarters near Bonab in East Azerbaijan Province. Citing satellite imagery from March 15 the think tank said significant damage was inflicted to Iranian naval and air infrastructure at the IRGC 4th Sarallah Naval District in Bushehr Province. The 4th Sarallah Naval District is responsible for controlling the central Persian Gulf, including the South Pars gas field.
