Iran has launched the tenth wave of its military operation "Wa'ad-e-Sadiq 3," firing another barrage of missiles at Israel, triggering air raid sirens across the country.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have gained “complete control” over the airspace of the occupied territories, asserting that Israel’s defense systems have been rendered ineffective.
According to Israeli military sources, the latest attack, one of several over the past 24 hours, prompted alarms throughout Israel, including Tel Aviv.
Media reports state that around 20 missiles were fired, activating nationwide air raid warnings and sending civilians scrambling to bunkers.
Iranian news agencies published a statement from the IRGC, boasting that their powerful and advanced “Fateh missiles” had successfully pierced Israel’s missile defense shield and struck their intended targets.

Supreme Leader Relocates to Bunker, Hands IRGC Full Wartime Authority
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly handed over full wartime decision-making powers to the IRGC’s high command and relocated with his family to a secure underground bunker. This move gives the IRGC complete control over military decisions, including offensive and defensive operations.
On Tuesday, the IRGC claimed to have directly targeted Mossad and Israeli military intelligence offices in Tel Aviv.
Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump demanded Iran’s unconditional surrender, stating he knows Khamenei’s exact location. “We’re not going to kill Ayatollah Khamenei, at least not right now,” he added, warning of a harsh response if any Iranian missiles strike civilians or U.S. forces.
Israeli Defense Minister also issued a stern warning, threatening Ayatollah Khamenei with the same fate as Saddam Hussein.
