Iran has launched a new phase of its offensive under “True Promise 4,” escalating strikes across the region. The IRGC claims it destroyed multiple U.S. aircraft, including C-130s and Black Hawk helicopters, during a failed rescue mission, while also targeting drones and missile systems. These developments come amid conflicting narratives with Washington, as Trump insists U.S. objectives are nearly complete. Meanwhile, Gulf nations remain under pressure from repeated missile and drone attacks. As both sides trade claims and intensify operations, the conflict is entering a more volatile and unpredictable stage.
