Iranian state media reports that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has launched the 22nd wave of Operation True Promise 4, firing Khorramshahr‑4, Kheibar, and Fattah missiles at U.S. and Israeli targets in the Gulf and occupied territories. The Khorramshahr‑4 is a liquid-fueled ballistic missile with an estimated range of 2,000 kilometers, Kheibar is a 1,450-kilometer solid-fuel missile, and the Fattah is a hypersonic glide vehicle capable of rapid maneuvering and high-speed impact.

The wave of missile launches represents a continuation of Iran’s retaliatory strategy against perceived U.S. and Israeli actions in the region. While Iranian media frames the operation as a demonstration of defensive and strategic capabilities, the strikes highlight the ongoing volatility in the Gulf, where the deployment of ballistic and hypersonic missile systems elevates the risk of escalation. Observers note that such actions test regional deterrence postures and underscore the importance of U.S. and allied monitoring to safeguard military and civilian assets in the targeted areas.
