In a major, escalation to the Iran-Israel conflict, Iran just launched Operation True Promise 3, which is the third consecutive day of missile strikes on Israeli critical infrastructure. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) initiated the campaign to retaliate for Israeli pre-emptive airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and command sites, and the campaign represents a new era of missile warfare utilizing AI and decoys with saturation.
The IRGC launched Operation True Promise 3 as a response to the Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities and their airstrikes that resulted in the deaths of senior Iranian military personnel. The operation is an increase in hostilities in the Iran-Israel conflict and an unknown tactic that carries consequences for missile defense systems internationally.
