Iranian Revolutionary Guards announce missile strikes targeting 150 sites in Israel

The top advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Ahamd Vahidi, discussed the extensive missile strikes launched by Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps against Israel on Friday evening, as part of a military operation code-named 'Promise of Truth III.'
Vahidi explained that the highly precise operation targeted vital and strategic sites deep within Israeli territory and took place across multiple stages, according to what he announced in an interview broadcast on Iranian state television.
The Iranian military official confirmed that the strikes included the Nevatim Air Base, which he described as one of the pivotal bases of the Israeli Air Force, where F-35, F-16, and F-15 fighter jets were stationed, in addition to cargo and refueling aircraft, command and control centers, and units specialized in electronic warfare.
The attacks included the Israeli Ministry of Defense and some military industrial facilities used in the manufacture of weapons and military equipment targeting the people of the region, he said.
Vahidi added that the attacks struck over 150 targets, which were identified in advance based on accurate intelligence and bombed with successive waves of missiles and drones, in an operation he called 'complex and carefully coordinated.'
Vahidi also directly accused the US for the attack, asserting that, 'The Zionist entity would not have been able to carry out these attacks without direct American support.'
The US President's statements following the Israeli strike confirm Washington's involvement in the operation, he said, explaining that America's forces participated in intercepting Iranian missiles and provided direct assistance to the Israeli army.
Vahidi also revealed that some Israeli attacks on Iran were launched from Iraqi airspace and logistically funded by the US, which he called a blatant violation of regional sovereignty and direct participation in the aggression against his country.

Palestinian VP denounces campaign to undermine Egypt and Jordan support for Gaza - War on Gaza

Hussein Al-Sheikh, vice president of the State of Palestine and deputy chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), denounced what he described as a coordinated campaign to weaken Egypt and Jordan, despite their consistent support for Palestinians. In a statement on Thursday, Al-Sheikh said the attacks on the two countries were not random, but 'part of deliberate attempts to weaken their positions and undermine any Arab balance.' 'Amid the organized attack targeting Egypt and Jordan, it cannot be ignored that the two countries stand on sensitive lines of contact and bear the burden of regional stability despite the challenges,' he added. Al-Sheikh noted that those attacking Egypt and Jordan today are deliberately ignoring their role in supporting the Palestinian cause and their standing as an impregnable barrier against the displacement of Palestinians. "They also ignore their steadfastness and perseverance on their homeland and their joint political efforts with our brothers and friends to stop the war of extermination and starvation and expand the circle of countries that expressed willingness to recognize the State of Palestine,' he stated. Al-Sheikh concluded by saluting the leadership and people of both countries for their 'firm, unwavering, and supportive positions toward our people's right to freedom and independence.' His remarks come as Israel continues to enforce a five-month blockade on Gaza and restricts the entry of critical aid, thus plunging 2.3 million Palestinians in the strip into famine. Facing a regional and global outrage, Israel allowed limited airdrops and aid trucks through tightly controlled crossings. In recent days, Egypt has rerouted aid to the Karm Abu Salem crossing, but Israel's intransigence has led to prolonged delays and denied entry to many convoys. Egypt and Jordan have dispatched aid convoys and airdropped aid to Gaza. Jordan has also suspended high-level contacts with Israel over its insistence on forging ahead with its war on the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Cairo and Amman have repeatedly affirmed their rejection of any Israeli attempts to forcibly displace Palestinians to Egypt or Jordan. Tens of UN agencies and humanitarian organizations have called on Israel to lift the blockade and allow unrestricted humanitarian access to a population deliberately starved into famine.

Egypt Welcomes Canada's and Malta's Plans to Recognize Palestinian State

Nada Mustafa Egypt has welcomed the announcement by Canadian Prime Minister (PM) Mark Carney and Maltese Prime Minister (PM) Robert Abela of their countries' intention to recognize Palestinian state. Egypt affirmed that this growing international momentum toward recognition constitutes a historic step that contributes to the realization of a Palestinian state, a goal long advocated by Egypt and the Arab nations, in pursuit of restoring the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, according to a statement issued by Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Moreover, Egypt reiterated its call for all countries that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to urgently take this step, in order to stand on the right side of history and support the implementation of the two-state solution, thereby ensuring the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
