JERUSALEM -- Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters launched Waves 93 through 96 of Operation True Promise 4 over April 4 and 5, targeting Israeli military hubs, energy infrastructure, and US-linked facilities across the region. [1] Wave 97 was announced on April 5. Reaching the 90s in 37 days means Iran has maintained a pace of roughly two to three waves per day since February 28.

Wave 93 targeted Israeli military sites with ballistic missiles and suicide drones. [2] Wave 96 struck petrochemical and energy facilities in Israel and US-linked Gulf companies — including Kuwait's Shuaiba petrochemical facility, described by Iran as a partner of US armed forces. [3]

The wave-numbering system is Iranian doctrine made visible: each attack is framed as proportional response to a specific US-Israeli strike, creating a public ledger. Every bomb has a justification. Whether the ledger is accurate is a separate question. The pace is not.

Wave 98 will have a pretext by Tuesday.
