DRIVING THE DAY
SUMMARY: The IRGC on 6 March launched its 21st wave of Operation True Promise 4 employing swarms of suicide drones and advanced Khaybar cluster-warhead missiles to saturate Israeli air defenses, while separately firing Khorramshahr-4 ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion Airport, and Israeli air bases in the 19th wave—demonstrating continued Iranian capacity to strike deep into Israeli territory despite six days of sustained U.S.-Israeli bombardment. IRGC spokesperson warned 6 March that Iran is prepared for a "prolonged war" and will introduce "a new generation of strategic weaponry that has not yet been seen on the battlefield," signaling Tehran's intention to escalate rather than negotiate despite mounting civilian casualties that the Iranian Red Crescent Society reported have reached 1,332 killed since 28 February. The conflict expanded further on 5-6 March when Iranian drones struck Amazon data centers in Bahrain and Dubai—targeting cloud infrastructure that Tehran assesses supports U.S. and Israeli military and intelligence operations—while IRGC forces destroyed what CENTCOM described as U.S. radars in the UAE, Jordan, and Qatar, and launched 27 separate operations against U.S. bases across Iraq according to the Islamic Resistance in Iraq. Foreign Minister ARAGHCHI on 5 March rejected any prospect of renewed negotiations with Washington, telling NBC News that Iran sees "no reason why we should engage once again with those who are not honest in negotiation," while warning that a U.S. ground invasion "would be a big disaster for them"—statements indicating Tehran has abandoned the diplomatic track that collapsed when U.S.-Israeli strikes began during the third round of nuclear talks in Geneva. END SUMMARY.
