Iran Claims Full Control Over Israeli Skies Amid Escalating Conflict
In a striking announcement that has captured international attention, Iranian state media reported that Colonel Iman Tajik, spokesperson for Operation Promise of Truth 3, declared Iran has achieved complete control over the skies of the occupied territories, referring to Israel. This bold claim follows a recent wave of intense missile attacks that have dramatically escalated tensions in the region.
Speaking on Iranian television, Colonel Tajik proclaimed:
“The heroic nation of Iran marks the 11th wave of the proud Operation Promise of Truth 3 using first-generation Fatah missiles, signaling the beginning of the end for the so-called legendary defense of the Zionist army and the chaos and disintegration of the Zionist regime. We salute the loyal warriors of the IRGC on this historic day.”
A New Era of Missile Warfare
According to Tajik, the Fatah missiles—described as both powerful and highly maneuverable—successfully breached Israel’s missile defense systems multiple times. These strikes reportedly delivered a clear and forceful message of Iranian strength to Tel Aviv and its Western allies.
“The Zionist cowards’ shelters shook again and again, and tonight’s attack proves that Israel’s residents are now fully exposed to Iran’s missile capabilities,” Tajik added.
Rising Civilian Toll and Growing Fear
Since the outbreak of the conflict, at least 24 civilians have lost their lives, underscoring the devastating human cost of the ongoing hostilities. Meanwhile, in Tehran, residents have been seen fleeing the city amid fears of retaliatory Israeli strikes. Shops, including the iconic Grand Bazaar, have shuttered as the capital braces for further escalation.
This latest development marks a significant turning point in the Iran-Israel conflict, raising urgent questions about the potential for wider regional instability.
