On the 5th local time, the Islamic Republic of Iran's army issued Announcement No. 56. The announcement shows that following the successful interception of enemy aircraft by the air defense system, the Iranian army took decisive military action in the early hours of the day to respond to the "crimes" of the US and Israel. According to the announcement, the Iranian army deployed a swarm of drones, accurately striking the Israeli "petrochemical industrial facilities and oil product storage facilities" near Dimona. It is reported that the underground emergency fuel reserves in the region are of great strategic importance to Israel's energy supply in the south. At the same time, Iranian drones also attacked equipment warehouses, satellite communication units, and US military command headquarters at the American military base on Bubiyan Island in Kuwait. The announcement pointed out that the base serves as a core node of the US Central Command in the region, undertaking a large number of communication monitoring and combat management tasks in recent times, and deploying offensive weapons such as "Hamas" multiple rocket launchers. The announcement emphasized that this military operation is a demonstration of the will of the Iranian armed forces to defend national sovereignty and retaliate against external provocations, and described this strike as a strong response to recent enemy military actions.
