Iran launched Operation Victory against Israeli air bases as Yemen expanded military operations and imposed a Red Sea blockade.

Key Developments

• Iran announced Operation Victory, targeting the strategic Israeli air bases of Nevatim and Tel Nof.
• Iranian missile barrages struck central and southern Israel, triggering widespread alarms and reported damage.
• Yemen declared a complete maritime blockade against Israel in the Red Sea and announced missile strikes on Israeli targets.

‘Operation Victory’

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the launch of a military operation dubbed “Operation Victory”, targeting what it described as key centers at Israel’s strategic Nevatim and Tel Nof air bases.

According to the IRGC, the operation was carried out in response to Israeli attacks targeting radar facilities at three locations inside Iran.

The operation was also dedicated to those killed during Twelve-Day War.

In a statement, the IRGC said the speed of the response and the breadth of the target bank demonstrated the readiness of its aerospace forces.

The statement stressed that all combat and operational units remain on full alert and prepared to carry out broader operations if circumstances require.

The IRGC added that contingency plans have been prepared for multiple scenarios and warned that any new attack would be met with a “firm and painful response.”

‘Airspace of Occupied Palestine under Our Will’

The spokesman of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the latest operation once again demonstrated Iran’s ability to reach targets throughout Israel.

“We have proven time and again that the skies of the occupied territories and the region are under our will and subject to the roar of the destructive missiles of the IRGC Aerospace Force,” he said.

The IRGC also issued a direct warning to the United States and governments supporting Israel.

It stated that any country opening its territory or airspace for attacks against Iran would itself become a direct target.

“Any land or airspace opened for aggression against Iran will make its owners direct targets of our firepower.”
