00:21What if just two missiles could pierce one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world?
00:27Strike near a nuclear facility and leave over 200 people dead or wounded.
00:34That's the explosive claim now coming from Iran.
00:38In a dramatic escalation, Iran's elite military force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,
00:45has announced what it calls a hard and decisive strike on southern Israel.
00:50According to the IRGC, this attack is part of an ongoing operation
00:55with each wave designed to increase pressure and demonstrate growing reach.
01:00This wasn't described as a random assault.
01:03Iran says it was a precision operation, carefully planned and executed,
01:09targeting key strategic zones deep inside Israeli territory.
01:13At the center of it all, Dimona and Arad.
01:17Dimona holds enormous strategic importance.
01:20It is home to Israel's Negev Nuclear Research Center,
01:24a site long associated with the country's most sensitive defense infrastructure.
01:29The IRGC claims its missiles successfully broke through Israeli interception layers
01:35and delivered direct, high-precision impacts in this area.
01:39The implication is significant, a strike reaching one of the most heavily defended zones in Israel.
01:46At the same time, Iran says Arad came under heavy fire.
01:51According to the IRGC, multiple military and security sites were struck in quick succession,
01:57creating what it describes as a concentrated and overwhelming udar on local defenses.
02:04Together, Dimona and Arad formed the core of what Iran is portraying as a coordinated southern strike zone.
02:11A key part of Iran's message is the claim that Israeli defense systems were overwhelmed.
02:17Missiles, according to the IRGC, were able to penetrate interception layers,
02:23suggesting gaps, at least in this specific moment, in even advanced defense networks.
02:29That narrative is central to how Iran is framing this operation.
02:33But the most attention-grabbing claim is the human cost.
02:37The IRGC says more than 200 Israelis were killed or wounded within the first hours alone.
02:44They describe emergency systems under intense strain,
02:48with rapid response units activated across southern regions.
02:52And the operation, according to Iran, didn't stop there.
02:56The IRGC also claims it launched strikes on U.S. military bases in the region,
03:02including facilities in the Gulf, using a mix of advanced missiles and drones.
03:07This transforms the narrative from a localized strike into a multi-front regional signal.
03:14Beyond the physical damage, the message is strategic.
03:17Iran is presenting this as proof that it can strike deep,
03:21hit sensitive targets, and challenge layered defenses.
03:25Iran says this was only one phase in a continuing campaign.
03:30More waves, it warns, could follow, each potentially more intense than the last.
03:36For now, these claims are shaping the narrative of a rapidly evolving conflict.
03:41If true, they mark a major moment.
