In the early hours of March 21, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement announcing the launch of the 70th wave of strikes under Operation True Promise 4.

The statement said the operation used Emad and Qiam-1 missiles, as well as attack drones, to conduct coordinated strikes on five US military bases. The targets included Saudi Arabia's Prince Sultan Air Base, the United Arab Emirates' Al Dhafra Air Base, Kuwait's Ali Al Salem Air Base, an air base in the Erbil region of Iraq, and the US Naval Forces base in Bahrain.

The Revolutionary Guard also said that Khaibar Shikan and Qadr missiles were used in the operation to strike key targets, including the Haifa and Tel Aviv areas of Israel.

The statement reiterated that Iran will continue its offensive strategy and will intensify strikes against any "source of aggression" that violates Iran's territory and national sovereignty. It also emphasized that Iran is fully prepared to deal with the current stage of confrontation.
