Resistance Forces Launch Massive Assault on Imperialist Forces

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah carried out multiple operations early on Tuesday, targeting zionist occupation forces, military positions, and settlements inside Lebanese territory and northern occupied Palestine.

The operations are being carried out as part of Operation Devoured Straw to defend Lebanon and its people, in retaliation for zionist attacks that have targeted numerous Lebanese villages and cities, including the Southern Suburb of Beirut.

On Tuesday, March 17, the Resistance announced seven key operations targeting zionist forces and armored vehicles in southern Lebanon and near the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

Iran launches wave 61 of True Promise 4 to avenge Larijani

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced wave 61 of Operation True Promise 4, launching a large-scale missile attack targeting more than 100 military and security sites in the occupied territories.

According to the IRGC, the new wave focused on Tel Aviv, described as a central hub of the zionist military and security activity. The attack reportedly included advanced missile systems such as Khorramshahr-4 (multiple-warhead missile), Qadr missiles, Emad missiles, and Kheybarshkan missiles.

The statement detailed that the operation was carried out under the slogan “O Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein,” and in retaliation for the killing of Security Chief Ali Larijani and his companions in a US-zionist aggression on the country overnight.

According to the statement, the targets were successfully struck due to what it described as a collapse in the entities multi-layered air defense systems, allowing missiles to reach strategic locations.

Sirens and explosions across Tel Aviv

Early Wednesday morning, air raid sirens blared across Tel Aviv and the central occupied territories following the detection of a new wave of missiles launched from Iran. Zionist Channel 12 reported dozens of consecutive explosions echoing through the Gush Dan area.

Zionist media confirmed that Iranian cluster missiles landed in several locations, including Holon, causing fires and damaging multiple vehicles.

A warehouse in the Mishmar HaShfa settlement was also destroyed, and debris from the missile salvo caused significant material damage.

Strikes cause widespread casualties and damage

The IRGC stated that the targets were successfully struck due to what it described as a collapse in Israel’s multi-layered air defense systems, allowing missiles to reach strategic locations.

The attack reportedly caused:

  • Power outages across parts of Tel Aviv
  • Disruptions to emergency and response operations
  • Initial estimates of more than 230 dead and wounded

Ramat Gan and surrounding areas hit

Zionist media reported that two settlers were killed in Ramat Gan, south of Tel Aviv, while cluster missiles struck 15 locations across the area, causing widespread destruction and panic.

Significant damage was reported at the Sedor train station, and a building in central Tel Aviv collapsed due to the missile impact. Several injuries were recorded from falling debris.

The latest wave follows the 60th wave of True Promise 4, which was launched to avenge the martyrdom of the head of the Basij Mostazafan Organization,  General Gholamreza Soleimani, following a US-zionist aggression.

The IRGC announced that the wave was conducted as a hybrid operation, targeting US bases across the region and in the occupied Palestinian territories. In addition to US bases, the wave targeted a zionist air logistics and supply center in Ashdod and the Rafael arms complex using Emad and Qadr missile systems.

Iraqi and Syria Resistance forces launch attacks

The Iraqi Islamic Resistance announced the execution of 47 operations using drones and missiles in their attacks.

These attacks spanned across the Gulf with a concentration targeting the US embassy in the Green Zone in Iraq.

This is the highest number of operations carried out by the Iraqi resistance since the start of the war.

The Syrian Resistance launched missiles towards the zionist entity. Jund al-Karrar, a newly announced Syrian Resistance front, began a new operation series in support of Iran and in response to the aggression, launching the new missile “Qudoos” at Shamir settlement in the occupied Syrian Golan. The strike was successful.

“Time for a Global Axis of Resistance”

by Tariq Marzbaan & Nora Hoppe in Al Mayadeen English

“The centuries-old racist-colonialist essence of Western imperialism – amplified over recent postmodern decades by the ruthless ambitions of the Anglo-American-Zionist alliance – has degenerated into total lawlessness and barbarism. It has become a blind and unfettered force of inconceivable savagery, forming the foundation of what we call the Axis of Barbarism”

Iran Has Captured American Soldiers

Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani said he had received reports that several American soldiers had been taken prisoner during the ongoing war, accusing Washington of attempting to conceal the incident.

In a message posted on the social media platform X, Larijani wrote:

“It has been reported to me that several American soldiers have been taken prisoner. But the Americans claim that they have been killed in action.”

He added:

“Despite their futile efforts, the truth is not something they can hide for too long.”

Larijani suggested that the United States may be attempting to obscure the circumstances of the alleged captures by reporting American troops as killed in action.

“They promote a misleading narrative claiming that five or six American soldiers have been killed,” he said, adding that the number of reported deaths could later be increased under different explanations.

The United States quickly rejected the claim.

A spokesperson for US Central Command (CENTCOM) told Al-Jazeera that the Iranian allegations about captured American soldiers were false.

The exchange comes as the conflict between Iran and the United States continues to intensify following the launch of joint US-Zionist airstrikes on Iran on February 28, triggering waves of retaliatory attacks across the region.

Iranian Leadership Response

Larijani also issued broader remarks about the war, saying the United States had failed to achieve its strategic objectives in launching the military campaign against Iran.

In an interview broadcast by Iranian television, he said Washington’s strategy had been based on the assumption that the conflict could be concluded quickly.

“The Americans wanted to end the war in a short period of time,” Larijani said, adding that Iran had prevented this outcome.

According to Larijani, one of the goals of the campaign had been to create internal instability in Iran and ultimately divide the country.

He said the United States and the zionist entity had also hoped that targeting Iran’s leadership would cause the political system to collapse.

Larijani argued that these efforts had failed, pointing to what he described as unity among the Iranian public during the conflict.

He warned that the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, during the war would carry consequences and said Tehran would continue to respond.

Larijani also said Iran had maintained adequate domestic supplies of fuel and essential goods despite the conflict, adding that the government had worked to stabilize conditions across the country.

IRGC Military Operations

For its part, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said its forces have carried out extensive military operations during the first week of the war.

IRGC spokesperson Ali Mohammad Naeini told reporters that Iranian forces had launched hundreds of missiles and thousands of drones as part of retaliatory operations.

According to the IRGC, approximately 600 missiles have been fired since the start of the war, including ballistic missiles and cruise missiles using both liquid and solid fuel systems.

Iranian forces also conducted around 2,600 drone attacks during the same period, Naeini said.

He added that the operations targeted more than 200 locations and facilities connected to US and Israeli forces.

Among the systems reportedly struck were advanced radar installations linked to the US-operated THAAD missile defense network deployed in the region.

Naeini said Iranian attacks had destroyed seven advanced radar systems and disrupted part of what he described as the “American security umbrella.”

The IRGC spokesperson said the scale of Iranian firepower during the first three days of the conflict was comparable to the level of operations seen during a previous 12-day war.

Ongoing Retaliation

Iranian officials say the country is prepared for a prolonged confrontation.

Naeini stated that Iran’s armed forces are ready to sustain a large-scale war for up to six months at the current operational tempo.

“There is no reason for concern,” he said, adding that Iran’s military remained fully prepared and capable.

He said the country’s missile and drone capabilities remained intact and that operations would continue against US and Israeli targets.

Separately, Iranian officials said missile strikes had been launched against Israeli infrastructure during the latest phases of the confrontation.

Iranian media reported that missiles fired during the latest wave of operations struck strategic targets, including the Haifa oil refinery.

Iran said the attack was carried out using Khaibar-type missiles as part of the ongoing operation known as “True Promise 4.”

Iranian officials said the strike came in response to earlier US-Israeli attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure, including the Tehran oil refinery.

The exchanges underline the rapidly expanding scope of the war, which has drawn in multiple actors across the region and intensified fears of a prolonged regional conflict.
