Iran confirmed that it struck two military bases in Israel and described the attack as a part of Operation Nasr or ‘Victory’. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it launched the missile fire, retaliating against Israel’s strikes in three areas of Iran.
According to IRNA News Agency, “The IRGC Aerospace Force has launched Operation Victory (Nasr), striking vital installations at the strategic Nevatim and Tel Nof air bases. This retaliatory action comes in response to the Israeli regime’s missile attacks on multiple radar sites in three regions of the country.”
