Iran launches 80th wave of missile strikes amid Trump’s claims of total victory | WATCH

Tehran: Iran released footage Wednesday of the 80th wave of "Operation True Promise 4," launching a fresh volley of missiles at U.S. and Israeli positions even as President Donald Trump suggested a diplomatic conclusion to the month-long war was imminent.

The latest aerial assault comes amid conflicting signals from Washington and Tehran. While the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) continues its kinetic campaign, Trump confirmed that negotiations are currently underway, asserting that Iran’s military capacity has been largely dismantled.

"We're in negotiations right now. I can tell you, they'd like to make a deal and who wouldn't if you were there? Look, their navy's gone, their air force is gone, their communications are gone. pretty much everything they have is gone," Trump said. "I think we are going to end it. I cannot tell you for sure. We have won this... We literally have planes flying over Tehran and other parts of their country. They can't do a thing about it. For instance, if I want to take down that power plant, they can't do a thing about it... They are totally defeated... Militarily, they are dead."

Strikes on Intelligence and Logistics

Prior to the 80th wave, the IRGC announced that "Wave 79" successfully bypassed Israel's multi-layered air defence systems. According to the IRGC’s Public Relations Department, the mission—codenamed "O Kheyral Fatehin"—utilised Kheibar Shekan, Emad, and Sejjil ballistic missiles alongside suicide drones.

Tehran claimed the strikes successfully hit "highly sensitive" intelligence facilities in north and central Tel Aviv. Additionally, the IRGC reported targeting military support centres in Ramat Gan, logistics hubs in the Negev desert, and the primary southern military management headquarters in Beersheba.

Diplomatic Defiance at the UN

Despite Trump’s claims of a total military victory, Iranian officials maintained a tone of defiance on the international stage. Speaking at the United Nations Conference on Disarmament, Iran’s deputy envoy Reza Dehghani vowed that Tehran would exercise its "legitimate right of self-defence" until U.S. and Israeli aggression is completely halted.

Dehghani condemned the ongoing military strikes and addressed neighbouring countries that have hosted U.S. forces. While stating Iran harbours "no hostility towards its neighbours," he warned that nations allowing their territory to be used as a launchpad for attacks against Iran "must be held accountable for the consequences."

The envoy alleged that "blind attacks" by American and Israeli forces continue to claim the lives of innocent women and children daily. He argued that the use of force must not be "normalised in international relations" and insisted that no global power has the authority to supersede international law.

Dehghani concluded by citing Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, emphasising that Iran’s defensive measures remain strictly limited to the "targets, bases, and military forces of the aggressor in the region."
