On the eight day of the Yankee imperialist war of aggression in Iran, the US and Israel continue its heavy bombardment of Iran, as the death-toll of the Iranian people continues to rise, currently exceeding 1,300 people murdered. Iran has reiterated its intentions to never surrender as they launch the 25th wave of the operation “True Promise 4” in retaliation against the US and Israel.
Iran Red Crescent reports that 6,668 civilian sites have been attacked since the start of the war. They state that “5,535 residential buildings, 1,041 commercial units, 14 health centers, 65 schools, and 13 facilities affiliated with the Red Crescent were among the locations hit.”
Iran has reiterated that “the surrender of Iran is a dream that will never come true.” as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched the 25th wave of Operation “True Promise 4”, targeting Yankee and Israeli military sites with drones and missiles, including hypersonic “Fattah” missiles.
IRGC warned that it is prepared to confront US naval escorts expected to accompany commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, where maritime traffic has slowed dramatically since the start of the Yankee imperialism war on Iran, stating: “We advise the Americans, before taking any decision, to remember the fire that struck the giant US oil tanker Bridgeton in 1987 and the oil tankers that were targeted recently,”
According to reports citing commercial satellite images, the AN/TPY-2 radar system—a critical element of the Yankee Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) network—was destroyed at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. The US currently operates eight THAAD batteries worldwide, including deployments in South Korea and Guam, with each battery costing roughly $1 billion.
The Gulf States have been targeted by several drone and missile attacks, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. In Dubai, the International Airport was struck by an attack drone.
An Iranian official also announced that they will refrain from attacking military bases that are not actively used in the Yankee imperialist war of aggression on Iran, but reiterated that “Iranian armed forces will respond to any aggression launched from US bases in the region.”.
Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes targeting the towns of Jibshit, Arabsalim and Kfarsir in south Lebanon.
Dozens were murdered, including 4 children, in an Israeli airstrike on the town of Shmistar in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon.
Authorities also reported 41 killed and 40 wounded in Israeli strikes on Nabi Sheet and nearby towns in eastern Lebanon.
Hezbollah says its combatants thwarted an Israeli troop airdrop attempt in Lebanon’s Bekaa region near Nabi Sheet.
Hezbollah has issued evacuation orders for the Israeli settlements of Nahariyya and Kiryat Shmona as part of the retaliation against the Israeli aggression on Lebanon.
The war of aggression is not without cost for Yankee imperialism. Not only are they fanning the flames of anti-imperialist struggles all over the world with their brazen attack on the sovereignty of the people in the Middle East and in Latin America, but the financial toll is also substantial, as oil prices surge to 92,62 USD per barrel, and the cost of engagement each day for Yankee imperialism is coming in at approximately 891.4 million USD.
The US treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, said on Friday that his government was considering lifting sanctions on Russian oil already in transit, to “create a supply”, in a desperate attempt to stabilize the market.
The Labor, Peace and Democracy Forces, which include Partizan, protested the aggression on Iran in front of the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.
Anti-imperialist Action Denmark participated in a demonstration organized by the Committee for Hands off the Middle East in solidarity with the people of Iran in front of the Yankee imperialist embassy in Copenhagen. They write: “It was correctly emphasized at the demonstration that the only ones who have the right to overthrow the Iranian government are the Iranian people themselves.”
