Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Claims 'Warning Strike' on Israeli Air Base
Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, June 7 — The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement on the evening of June 7, saying that its Aerospace Force launched ballistic missiles that night against Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel.
The statement indicated that this operation was in response to Israel’s recent military actions in multiple locations in southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut. Iran considers Ramat David Airbase to be one of the key bases used by Israeli forces to carry out these military operations.
The statement noted that Iran accepted the ceasefire arrangement on April 8 on the condition of a comprehensive cessation of hostilities across all fronts, but neither the U.S. nor Israel has since fulfilled their related commitments. It accused Israel of continuing military operations in Lebanon and alleged that the U.S. and Israel have taken actions against Iranian vessels and coastal targets in the Strait of Hormuz, the Gulf of Oman, and the Indian Ocean, thereby undermining the ceasefire agreement.
The statement described Iran’s missile strike on Israel that night as 'a warning.' It added that if Israel continues to escalate its military actions, Iran’s future responses will expand in scope and may target additional U.S. and Israeli assets across the region.
According to an announcement by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on June 7, Iran launched at least three waves of missiles toward Israel that night, all of which were intercepted by Israeli defense systems. Citing an Israeli official, Israeli media reported that Israel would respond 'with full force.'
