A senior commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the damage inflicted on Israel by Operation True Promise III far exceeds what the regime had expected.
“Approximately 20 hours after the enemy’s initial assault, Operation True Promise III was conducted while the Zionist regime was at peak defensive readiness. Having anticipated Iran’s potential response, they had activated all their air defense systems and even secured airspace control over neighboring countries,” Deputy Commander for Political Affairs Brigadier General Yadollah Javani said in an interview released on Monday.
Javani highlighted the diversity of missiles used in the operation, saying, “Official reports confirm that in addition to long-range ballistic missiles, we successfully deployed drones such as the ‘Arash’ into the airspace of the occupied territories.”
This unprecedented diversity of projectiles – never before deployed with such precision into the occupied territories – left the enemy in utter shock, he said, adding that the operation was so powerful that it went beyond what even Israeli authorities and US President Donald Trump anticipated.
