US And Israel Strike Iran: Fifth Day Of Operation
- 4.03.2026, 8:31
(Updated) The Iranian navy is effectively defeated.
As of March 4, the U.S.-Israeli operation against Iran continues in the Middle East. Literally in the first hours of the conflict the ruling military-political top brass of Iran was eliminated. U.S. and Israeli forces are launching pinpoint strikes against Iranian military targets.
Charter97.org is following online the development of the situation in the Middle East.
9:30 The Israel Defense Forces have destroyed about 300 Iranian ballistic missile launchers since the military operation against Iran began.
The Iranian army has used these missile launchers to strike Israel and U.S. military bases in the Middle East and their allies.
The Israeli air force has also hit a secret nuclear complex where Iranian scientists have been trying to create key components for nuclear weapons. Called Minzadehei, this secret strategic underground facility was located near Tehran.
8:54 During the night hours of March 4, the Iranian regime carried out another series of ballistic missile launches into Israel. Sirens sounded in Jerusalem, Be'er Sheva and dozens of other locations. No casualties were recorded during the night attack. No serious damage to infrastructure was also reported.
Analysts record a curious dynamic: with each day of the war, the number of air targets from Tehran is steadily decreasing. At least 20 missile launches have been recorded over the past 24 hours, which is the lowest number since the beginning of the conflict.
8:34 The Ayatollah Council has elected a new supreme leader of Iran. He is Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the liquidated Ali Khamenei.
8:32 A fire broke out near the US consulate in Dubai in the UAE due to an Iranian drone strike. Eyewitnesses to the incident are speaking about it en masse and sharing related videos online. Local authorities noted that no one was injured as a result of the incident. Reuters clarified that it was an Iranian drone that hit the US dipuchre.
8:20 Defeat of Iran's Navy: the U.S. military has reported significant losses to the Iranian navy during the ongoing Operation Epic Fury. US forces have already destroyed 17 Iranian ships. Among the 17 destroyed units is the pride of the Iranian navy, the country's most advanced submarine, which received a fatal blow and is no longer capable of performing missions.
