[Iran Launches 96th Wave of Strikes Against the US and Israel] The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement on March 5th, announcing that its navy and aerospace forces launched the 96th wave of Operation True Commitment-4 in the early hours of the 5th. The statement indicated that the IRGC launched a fierce attack on the Haifa oil refinery, which supplies fuel to Israeli warplanes, destroying its core components; it also used missiles to attack the US ExxonMobil and Chevron natural gas facilities in Habshan, UAE, and a petrochemical plant in Ruwais, UAE. Furthermore, multiple petrochemical facilities in Sitra, Bahrain, and Shuaiba, Kuwait, were also attacked by drones and missiles, causing complete shutdowns and large-scale fires. The IRGC emphasized that the enemy, suffering defeats on all fronts, has turned to attacking non-military targets. This strike is only a preliminary response, intended to warn that any violation of Iranian non-military infrastructure will be met with doubled retaliation. The statement concluded by warning that if the enemy continues to attack non-military targets, the second phase of the operation will be even more intense, and US taxpayers will have to pay the price.
