Iran Called It ‘Operation True Promise 4’ — 6 Waves Hit US Bases, IRGC Says Real Attack Hasn’t Begun

Описание: As of March 1st, 2026, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says Operation True Promise 4 is not ending — it is only entering its opening phase.

Following Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure, Tehran has publicly confirmed six coordinated waves of retaliation targeting American bases, Israeli military facilities, and strategic regional assets across the Middle East. According to IRGC statements, 27 installations have already been struck — including Al Udeid, Al Dhafra, Ali Al Salem, Haifa naval infrastructure, and Tel Nof airbase.

But the most consequential message is not about what has already happened.

Iranian officials have stated that the “most ferocious offensive operation” has not yet been executed.

This documentary-style breakdown examines:

How Iran’s distributed command doctrine enabled rapid retaliation following leadership decapitation strikes
Why Gulf infrastructure, symbolic economic targets, and maritime logistics were included
What the reported closure order of the Strait of Hormuz means for global oil flows
The implications of Bloomberg’s warning regarding interceptor and ammunition depletion
CSIS concerns surrounding nuclear material security and regional proliferation risk
The activation of proxy networks beyond Iranian borders
And how escalation now intersects with diplomacy, negotiations, and military endurance

With tensions expanding across multiple theaters — from the Gulf to Iraq and the Eastern Mediterranean — the conflict is increasingly shifting from a contained exchange into a system-wide regional stress test involving energy markets, supply chains, and strategic deterrence.

At stake is not only military balance — but whether escalation thresholds will be crossed that move the confrontation beyond a regional framework.
