Inside Iran's war tunnel: Huge collection of drones displayed under Khamenei's images - watch

Iranian state media has released new video footage showing part of the IRGC’s drone arsenal displayed inside a large underground tunnel, under Khamenei's posters.

Another Iranian state media outlet released footage showing drones being launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as part of its ongoing military campaign against US and Israeli targets.

On Saturday, the IRGC said it had conducted the “successful execution of the 48th wave of its ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 against Zionist and American targets.” Iranian officials said the attacks were carried out in coordination with the Lebanese group Hezbollah.

According to the statement, the targets included locations in northern Israel such as Galilee, the Golan and the city of Haifa. Iranian media also said that several American bases in the region were targeted during the operation.

State broadcaster Press TV reported that the 48th wave involved a mix of weapons, including “solid-fuel Kheibar Shekan missiles, liquid-fuel Qadr missiles, and attack drones.”

The IRGC also claimed that it struck al-Udaid, described as United States’ most important airbase in the West Asia region”, located in Qatar.

The IRGC said the attacks had caused panic in Israel, saying: “Siren to siren and a scramble to enter shelters, this is the current state of the Zionists at this moment.”

Iranian media also reported that Hebrew text messages had been sent to residents in Israel. The message said: “By the permission of God, we will bring upon you days of darkness in which you will wish for death, but you will not find it.”
