Strike Operations
Rounds
Four rounds of Iranian strike operations against Israel and US/coalition targets, from April 2024 to the present. Round 4 is ongoing.
A note on terminology: The Iranian regime designated these operations "True Promise" (وعده صادق).
These codenames (TP1–TP4) are referenced in parts of this site and dataset for cross-referencing with OSINT, news, and academic sources.
Their use is strictly for identification and tracking purposes and does not constitute any endorsement of these operations, which represent attempted mass murder targeting a civilian population centre.

Round 3
Round 3 (TP3) — "Twelve-Day War"
13–24 June 2025
22 incidents
~1,700+ munitions
86% interception
33 killed
3,238 wounded
- 22 incidents over 12 days — sustained multi-salvo campaign designed to overwhelm defences through attrition
- Mixed volleys combining ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones
- 86% interception rate (Israeli/coalition claimed) — significant drop from prior rounds
- 33 killed, 3,238 wounded in Israel — first operation to cause mass casualties
- Major impacts: Bat Yam residential (9 killed), Haifa Bazan refinery (3 killed), Soroka hospital, Weizmann Institute ($500M–$1B damage)
- All 22 incidents conducted by IRGC Aerospace Force; Houthi (Ansar Allah) forces joined with coordinated launches in Salvo 5–7
- Launched in response to Israeli Operation Rising Lion strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities
Key significance: First sustained multi-salvo campaign that overwhelmed defences and inflicted mass casualties, demonstrating Iran's capacity for attrition warfare against layered air defence.

Round 2
Round 2 (TP2)
1 October 2024
2 incidents
~200 ballistic missiles
0 drones/cruise
- Ballistic-missile-only strike (~200 missiles in 2 salvos, 15 minutes apart)
- First combat use of Iran's Fattah-1 hypersonic missile
- Targeted Nevatim and Tel Nof airbases and Mossad/Unit 8200 HQ at Glilot
- Some missiles penetrated defences — 20–32 impacts confirmed at Nevatim by satellite imagery
- Missiles landed ~500m from Mossad complex; school hit in Gedera
- 2 killed (1 heart attack in Israel, 1 debris in Jericho), 8 wounded across Israel, West Bank, and Jordan
- Launched in response to assassinations of Hamas leader Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Nasrallah
Key significance: Demonstrated Iran could penetrate Israeli defences with ballistic missiles. Speed-only approach (eliminating slow drones) significantly reduced warning time and tested BMD saturation limits.

Round 1
Round 1 (TP1)
13–14 April 2024
2 incidents
~320 munitions
~99% interception
- First-ever direct Iranian military attack on Israeli territory
- ~320 munitions launched: 170 Shahed-136 drones, 30 Paveh cruise missiles, 120 ballistic missiles (Emad, Ghadr, Kheibar Shekan)
- ~99% interception rate by joint Israel / US / UK / Jordan / France coalition defence
- Largest drone attack ever carried out by any country at the time
- Drones launched hours before ballistic missiles to saturate air defences; BMs timed to arrive simultaneously
- Minimal damage — minor damage to Nevatim Airbase (remained operational); 1 serious injury (7-year-old Bedouin girl)
- Salvo 1: multi-front proxy coordination with Hezbollah (Lebanon), Islamic Resistance in Iraq, and Ansar Allah (Houthis, Yemen) launching drones and rockets from Lebanese, Iraqi, and Yemeni territory. Salvo 2 was IRGC Aerospace Force only, no proxy involvement.
- Launched in retaliation for Israeli airstrike on Iranian consulate in Damascus killing IRGC generals
Key significance: Crossed a threshold held since the 1979 revolution — the first direct Iranian strike on Israeli territory. Established the precedent for all subsequent rounds.

Tactical Evolution Across Rounds
Evolution of Iranian Strike Doctrine
Each successive round reflects a significant evolution in Iranian tactics, targeting, and operational ambition:
- R1 Demonstration strike, telegraphed well in advance. Mixed munitions (drones, cruise, ballistic) launched in a single salvo, allowing coalition time to position assets. Near-total interception. Intended to establish precedent without escalation.
- R2 Surprise ballistic-missile-only strike testing Israeli BMD capabilities. Eliminated slow drones and cruise missiles in favour of speed. First use of hypersonic-class weapons. Some successful penetrations of airbase defences.
- R3 Sustained multi-salvo campaign over 12 days designed to overwhelm defences through attrition. Mixed volleys across 22 incidents. First operation to cause mass casualties in Israel (33 killed, 3,238 wounded). Interception rate dropped to 86%.
- R4 Multi-theatre expansion targeting US/coalition assets in addition to Israel. 72 incidents over 18 days (Feb 28 – Mar 17, 2026), representing the most ambitious Iranian military campaign to date. Targets span 13 countries across the Middle East. 66 ballistic missile salvos and 39 drone salvos recorded, including 17 cluster warhead salvos. 19 fatalities and 125 injuries reported. First operation to deploy multiple IRGC branches simultaneously (Aerospace, Ground, and Navy); proxy forces (Hezbollah, Islamic Resistance in Iraq) actively participated in Salvo 24–27. Salvo 72 (Day 18) — drone and missile attack on UAE.
