On the 3rd, Iran’s Armed Forces Hatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters issued a statement refuting the U.S. claim that “Iran’s air defense system has been completely destroyed,” and reported the latest developments of the “True Promise-4” military operation.

The statement said that Iran’s air defense system shot down a U.S. warplane in the central airspace during the 91st wave of attacks. During the 91st wave, Iran jointly with armed groups in Yemen launched strikes on Israeli positions and military facilities, and conducted attacks on U.S. and Israeli military and infrastructure targets within the countries in the southern Persian Gulf region, as well as struck cloud infrastructure of U.S. companies in the United Arab Emirates.

During the 92nd wave of attacks, the Iranian side destroyed a staging area for U.S. naval vessels in Kuwait, an early-warning radar in Bahrain, attacked the Israeli Air Force base in Haifa, and carried out strikes against more than 50 targets including Tel Aviv. In addition, the Iranian side used drones to attack U.S. military facilities in Jordan and Kuwait, and the Bahrain Aluminum plant.

Iran’s air defense forces intercepted multiple cruise missiles and drones in multiple locations’ airspace, and shot down an advanced enemy fighter aircraft in the southern part of Qeshm Island. Iran emphasized that the related military operations will continue. (CCTV reporter Yu Peng Li Jiannan)
