Iran launches new wave of attacks as U.S.-Israeli airstrikes continue

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said Saturday that it had launched the 95th wave of Operation True Promise 4 against U.S. and Israeli targets, as the two countries continued airstrikes on Iran.

The new wave of offensive was carried out by the IRGC's Aerospace Force and Navy, targeting U.S. HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) rocket artillery batteries stationed in Kuwait, a U.S. Patriot missile system in Bahrain, locations hosting senior commanders and instructors of the U.S. military in Al Dhafra, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as well as a facility belonging to the American artificial intelligence technology company Oracle Corporation in Dubai.

In addition, multiple locations in Tel Aviv, Petah Tikva, and Ramat Gan were subjected to sustained and heavy strikes, the IRGC said.

Yemen's Houthi group said in a statement on Saturday that it had carried out a joint military operation targeting Israeli military sites with Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, adding that the mission had "successfully achieved its objectives."

On the day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had detected a missile launched from Yemen. Air defense sirens sounded in multiple locations across central Israel, including Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, the U.S. and Israel attacked key infrastructure and petrochemical facilities in Iran on Saturday.

According to Iranian media reports, U.S.-Israeli airstrikes caused violent explosions at the Mahshahr Special Petrochemical Zone in Iran's southwestern Khuzestan province.

Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant was attacked again on Saturday.

The U.S. and Israel also attacked a grain storage facility in Iran, but no casualties have been reported so far.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday outlined conditions for a possible agreement with Iran, but Iranian sources said Tehran had yet to make a final decision and disputed key parts of his account, dismissing the remarks as "a mixture of truths and lies."

"Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions. All water mines (bombs), if any, will be terminated," Trump wrote in a social media post.

The U.S. Naval blockade "will now be lifted," Trump said, adding that ships stranded in the Strait may start "heading home."

He said that Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles will be unearthed by the United States in close coordination and conjunction with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency and destroyed.

In terms of the financial compensation for the war demanded by Iran and the idea of investments suggested by the White House, Trump said "no money will be exchanged, until further notice."

Trump also said he would be meeting his national security team at the White House "to make a final determination" on Friday.

In response, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency, citing informed sources, said the draft of the potential agreement was in the final stages of being approved by Iran but that no definitive decision has been made yet.

It dismissed Trump's remarks about a possible agreement with Iran as "a mixture of truths and lies," saying he was attempting to portray a fabricated victory.

Almost everyone now understands that such claims lack credibility, it said.

It clarified that neither Trump's demand for Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open toll-free nor any requirement to eliminate or destroy Iran's nuclear materials appears in the agreement's text.

The most important part of the agreement to which Trump has not pointed is Iran's insistence on the release of 12 billion U.S. dollars of its frozen assets, it said, adding that Tehran would not enter any further phase of negotiations until the money is released.

It also said Trump had made no mention of a full ceasefire in Lebanon in line with Hezbollah's position.

Fars said Iran would only move to the next stage of talks on sanctions relief and nuclear issues after those conditions were met and within the framework of the country's stated red lines.

Also on Friday, Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said in a social media post that Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz was a globally recognized fact.

Countries could secure passage for their vessels by obtaining permission, paying the required fees and sailing under the guidance of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, he added.

Iran, the United States and Israel reached a ceasefire on April 8 after 40 days of fighting. Over the past few weeks, the two sides have exchanged proposals via Pakistani mediation. In recent days, they have been working to finalize a memorandum of understanding to halt the war.
