Wave 90: IRGC strikes US-linked industrial sites in Gulf
Al Mayadeen | April 2, 2026
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) carried out a large-scale missile and drone operation targeting US-linked industrial and military sites across the Gulf, as part of the 90th wave of Operation True Promise 4.
The operation was launched by the IRGC Aerospace Force and the IRGC Navy in response to US aggression targeting Iran’s steel industry, which killed and injured multiple workers.
“We dedicate this operation to the families of the oppressed martyred workers and warn the delusional American president to refrain from repeating threats that could escalate the war beyond the region and make the world unsafe for America,” the IRGC underlined.
According to the statement, the operation targeted US steel and aluminum industries based in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, as well as facilities in Bahrain.
The strikes also hit remaining operational sections of US aluminum facilities that had not been damaged in previous attacks, in addition to sites linked to the Israeli military industries company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and a hideout of US forces near the Bahraini capital, Manama.
The statement confirmed that key sections of these sites were destroyed.
Casualties among US forces
The operation resulted in dozens of US personnel killed and wounded, according to the statement, with targeted areas immediately sealed off while ambulances continued evacuating casualties for hours.
The strikes unfolded in continuous waves, which began before dawn.
Iran stressed that the attack serves as a warning, affirming that any renewed aggression against its industrial sector will be met with a far more severe response. It warned that future operations could target critical infrastructure of the Israeli occupation and US economic interests across the region.
“These attacks are a warning, and if attacks on Iranian industries are repeated, the next response will be much more painful with attacks on the main infrastructure of the occupying regime (“Israel”) and American economic industries in the region,” the IRGC said.
Second phase of Wave 90
In an update released on Thursday afternoon, the IRGC said that its strikes also targeted major Israeli airbases, including the Tel Nof Airbase, the Palmachim Airbase, and the Ben Gurion Airport, a section of which is being used for aerial refueling operations.
The IRGC dedicated the second wave to Iranian citizens targeted by US-Israeli bombardment, saying that this set of strikes was in direct response to crimes committed by both regimes. The strikes also targeted Israeli occupation forces’ sites in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Eilat, al-Naqab, and Bir al-Sabe’. In the Gulf, the IRGC struck the Ahmad al-Jaber Airbase and the Ali al-Salem Airbases in Kuwait and the al-Kharj Airbase in Saudi Arabia.
Ballistic missiles, carrying heavy payloads, and one-way attack drones were utilized in the attacks.
According to the statement, another early warning radar, deployed in the al-Dhafra Airbase in the UAE, was also hit and destroyed.

Wars for Israel: A reminder of who’s giving the marching orders
By Damian Lataan | February 7, 2012
As the West prepares to march off to yet another war in the Middle East, we should perhaps remind ourselves of who is giving the West their marching orders.
In February 2003, just weeks before the US and their allies launched their attack on Iraq and her peoples, a delegation of US congressmen, together with the US Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, a well known pro-Zionist and neoconservative war-hawk, were in Israel at the invitation of the Israeli government then led by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Addressing the congressmen, Sharon told them ‘that Iran, Libya and Syria should be stripped of weapons of mass destruction after Iraq’. Later, Sharon told John Bolton ‘that Israel was concerned about the security threat posed by Iran, and stressed that it was important to deal with Iran even while American attention was focused on Iraq’. … continue
