On Wednesday, March 18, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian Army conducted multiple strikes under the banner of Operation True Promise 4, which was launched in response to an "unprovoked act of aggression" by the US-Israeli coalition against Islamic Republic of Iran on February 28, Press TV reported. According to Press TV, since the operation began, Iranian forces have carried out 63 waves of missile and drone attacks using advanced weaponry, hitting Israeli military facilities in the occupied territories as well as US bases and assets across the West Asia region. Regional allies have also intensified their efforts. The Lebanese Hezbollah movement has focused its operations on Israeli military targets, citing both the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and repeated ceasefire violations by Israel over the past year, Press TV reported. Meanwhile, Iraqi resistance groups have conducted daily attacks, primarily targeting American military installations in Iraq and other Arab nations, as per Press TV. Earlier, key energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf came under attack on Wednesday night (local time), with fires reported at a major facility in Qatar and aerial threats intercepted over Saudi Arabia, following warnings from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), CNN reported. Qatar's Interior Ministry said Civil Defence teams were responding to a blaze at the Ras Laffan Industrial City, a critical natural gas processing hub and cornerstone of the Qatari economy, "following an Iranian targeting," according to a post on X on Wednesday.
