The largest power plant in Israel has been destroyed by Iranian missiles, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that all U.S. military bases in the Middle East have been completely eliminated.
The Iranian military launched an attack on the Orrot Rabbin power station located in Haifa, Israel. This power station is the largest energy facility in Israel, supplying approximately 20% to 25% of the nation’s electricity generation and serving as a critical hub for the national power grid. Should this facility be disabled, large-scale blackouts could occur across central Israel, including in Tel Aviv. (Note: This was carried out by the Iranian military, not the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.)
The Israeli "Iron Dome" missile defense system failed to successfully intercept the Iranian missiles. No official confirmation from Israel has yet been released regarding the attack or the extent of damage. Experts point out that even partial destruction of such critical infrastructure could trigger cascading failures within Israel’s power grid, causing significant economic and security repercussions. After an Iranian missile struck a military warehouse in the Israeli town of Yashar, a massive fire broke out.
Additionally, Ali Fadaei, representative of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Central Command, claimed that Iranian forces have destroyed all U.S. military bases in the Middle East. In a televised interview, Fadaei urged citizens across the Middle East to report hiding locations of survivors fleeing U.S. military bases to Iran. The Revolutionary Guard spokesperson further stated that Iran possesses submarine-launched missiles and could deploy them at any moment.
Just as Trump claimed that the United States had already defeated Iran through major strikes, multiple sources indicate that this American president's assessment of the Middle Eastern conflict is entirely based on daily videos of explosions presented before him.
Iran has once again rejected Washington’s ceasefire proposal, demanding that the conflict end on its own terms—specifically, guarantees from both the U.S. and Israel against future aggression, international recognition of Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and compensation for war damages from the so-called “Epstein Alliance” responsible for provoking the war.
Iranian officials have warned that if its territory is invaded, it will close off the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, which lies between Yemen and Eritrea and connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden. As this strait serves as a mandatory passage for numerous vessels traveling via the Suez Canal, it holds vital significance for global trade.
