Iran's IRGC: A new wave of true promise 4 operation has begun, involving missile and drone attack targeting central Tel Aviv with Khaibar missiles - State Media

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the initiation of a new wave of its “True Promise 4” military operation, involving missile and drone attacks targeting central Tel Aviv with Khaibar missiles, according to state media reports. This escalation follows earlier strikes on Tel Aviv, Haifa, and east Jerusalem, as well as attacks on U.S. military bases in the region. Air raid sirens were reported in major Israeli cities, underscoring the intensifying conflict.

The IRGC has launched multiple waves of the operation since the conflict began, with state media citing responses to "aggression" by the U.S. and Israel. The use of Khaibar missiles, a domestically developed system, highlights Iran’s focus on asymmetric warfare capabilities. Regional tensions have surged, with Israel and U.S. forces likely to respond, potentially exacerbating economic uncertainties.

Financial markets remain sensitive to Middle East conflicts, with historical precedents showing volatility in oil prices and regional trade routes. Analysts may assess the immediate impact on energy markets, given the proximity of strikes to key infrastructure. However, long-term economic consequences will depend on the duration and geographic scope of the conflict. As the situation evolves, investors are advised to monitor diplomatic developments and military escalations for further signals.
