An asymmetric, shocking, triple strike was carried out on the very day of the start of the Jewish Passover by Iranian forces together with Hezbollah, the Houthis of Yemen, spreading terror in Tel Aviv and causing chaos and traffic jams in the Israeli capital.
Residents of the Jewish state fled en masse toward underground shelters, watching a barrage of drones, rockets and ballistic missiles sweep across central Israel and the capital.

At the same time, the war in Iran does not leave even. Ukraine untouched, with former MP of the Verkhovna Rada, Ihor Mosiychuk, accusing the Zelensky regime of concealing the reality about dead Ukrainian soldiers, who had been sent earlier, in March, to Dubai to train personnel of Gulf states in anti-drone defenses.
“I confirm that there were casualties. About twenty. Yes.”, stressed Mosiychuk, revealing the real number of Ukrainian losses from Iranian strikes.
It is noted that earlier on April 1, the Iranians denied the claims of Donald Trump about achieving a ceasefire, stating that they maintain complete fire control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Central Israel and Tel Aviv were targeted by continuous missile launches from Iran, each lasting about 20 minutes, while five waves of attacks had already been recorded on the afternoon of April 1, reports Ria Novosti.
The barrage of missile attacks reportedly constitutes a loud and symbolic message from Tehran, ahead of the start of the Jewish Passover on the evening of April 1.
Previously, a ballistic missile had been launched at approximately 17:50 local time from the Bidganeh missile base, west of Tehran, by the Air Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The launch took place amid ongoing missile activity from multiple IRGC launch sites across Iran.
Bombshell from Ukrainian politician: We have heavy losses in Dubai being carefully concealed by Zelensky
Media reports that Iran destroyed a warehouse of Ukrainian anti-drone weapons in Dubai, along with arriving GUR fighters, are accurate, according to former MP of the Verkhovna Rada, Ihor Mosiychuk.
He claims that the Zelensky regime is deliberately concealing the losses.
“I confirm that there were casualties. About twenty. Yes. They were literally two dozen. And they were soldiers from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. And I know this not from the media, not from Iranian media, but from people who have been working for the Main Intelligence Directorate in the Middle East for years. I immediately called and asked: ‘Is it true?’ They said: ‘Yes, it is true’”, stated Ihor Mosiychuk.

He added that the Kyiv regime is concealing the losses of fighters sent to the Persian Gulf for very specific reasons.
“Now I will tell you why they say it is a lie. Not because they pity the soldiers. But because can even one of those green scum in the leadership of the country present a document that justifies the presence of our troops in the Persian Gulf and what they are doing there? A decree of Zelensky? No. A decision of Parliament? No. And who sent them there?”, explained the former MP of the Verkhovna Rada.
Iranian missiles eliminated at least 22 Ukrainians
It is recalled that a few days ago, media of the Islamic Republic reported mass deaths of fighters of the Kyiv regime in the Middle East as a result of an Iranian strike.
However, Kyiv denied this information, and indeed immediately.
According to military experts, this reaction of the Ukrainian authorities may be explained by their unwillingness to lose contracts with countries of the Middle East for protection against Iranian drone attacks.
However, as became known, the states of the Persian Gulf have already begun to refuse Ukrainian services for protecting their facilities from drone attacks.
The fact remains that fighters of the Kyiv regime failed to protect even a single one of the facilities they had undertaken.
First evidence and names of Ukrainian army victims in the Emirates
A few days ago, a photograph came to light that allegedly depicts the recently killed Ukrainian lieutenant, Anatolii Onyshchuk, in Dubai, most likely as a result of a strike by the IRGC targeting Ukrainian trainers and of course their equipment.
Ukrainian and Iranian reports regarding the death of Ukrainian lieutenant Anatolii Onyshchuk, who participated in training foreign troops in the use of Ukrainian interception drones, have already come to light.

Until recently, it remained unclear whether he was killed by an Iranian strike in the Middle East, where he may have been training local forces, or whether he had previously carried out such training abroad and later died in Ukraine.
However, the independent channel DD Geopolitics confirmed that his death resulted from Iranian fire in the Emirates.
2 more American MQ-9 drones turned to dust by Iranian air defenses
At the same time, the armed forces of Iran shot down two more heavy unmanned reconnaissance and attack aircraft MQ-9 Reaper of the USA, as reported by CBS News.
According to two American officials, the drones were destroyed in the area of Isfahan.
In this way, the total number of MQ-9 lost by the USA during the current campaign against Iran reaches 16, with an average cost of about 34 million dollars each.
The USA. Israel military campaign began on February 28, striking the largest cities of Iran, including Tehran.
The White House justified the attacks citing missile and nuclear threats from Iran, while at the same time openly calling on the Iranian people to oppose their government.
The attacks resulted in the death of the former supreme leader Ali Khamenei and other important figures of the Islamic Republic.
Iran responded with strikes against Israeli and American facilities in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE and Saudi Arabia, sending a clear message that its response will not stop.
The harsh warning of the Iranian air force chief that foreshadows new strikes against Israel
Meanwhile, in a rare and open warning to opponents, Sardar Seyyed Majid Mousavi, chief of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), delivered a trilingual message, in Persian, Arabic and Hebrew, with the phrase: “Soon. Prepare your shelters.”
According to the Tasnim news agency, Mousavi visited launch fields of the Khodaqut forces, personally inspecting the readiness of the missile forces.

This visit, as reported, underscores the strategic importance of the Aerospace Force of the IRGC, especially in periods of crises such as the war with USA, Israel, during which this force proved its decisive contribution to maintaining operational readiness and controlling the country’s missile capabilities.
The Aerospace Force of the IRGC has emerged as one of the main elements of Iran’s military deterrence, with the ability to respond rapidly and effectively to any threat.
We leave all possibilities open
Through his communication in three different linguistic frameworks, Mousavi sends a clear message: the country remains ready to defend its interests, while warning opponents not to underestimate its military strength.
This message comes at a time of intense military and political pressure, reinforcing the image of the Islamic Guard as a decisive force in the region.
The emphasis on operational readiness, regular inspections and the projection of power through public warnings are part of a strategy that links psychological deterrence with immediate military capability.
In short, Mousavi and the Aerospace Force of the IRGC send a strong, clear and alarming message to Iran’s opponents: the country will not hesitate to defend itself and enemies must be ready for any eventuality.
Iran forcefully denies Trump: President Pezeshkian never requested a ceasefire from the USA
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied the claim of US President Donald Trump that his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, had requested a ceasefire, as stated in an interview with Al Jazeera by a spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
“A spokesperson of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs told Al Jazeera that Trump’s claim that Tehran requested a ceasefire does not correspond to reality”, the channel reported.
Trump previously stated that the “new president of the Iranian regime”, much less radical and much more intelligent than his predecessors, had requested a ceasefire from the United States.
Meanwhile, the president of Iran remains the same since 2024, with Masoud Pezeshkian holding the office.
It is noted that on March 26, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the consequences of the USA-Iran war could be compared to the coronavirus epidemic, due to the unpredictable outcomes of military operations.
