Operation "Wrath of God"

Instructions

In response to the killing of the Supreme Leader, Iran has vowed an exceedingly "vehement and ferocious" retaliation. Stage 1: 6:12 AM IRST Coinciding with the first missile launches, IRGC special operations units and local proxies activated short-range GPS jammers and high-output electronic warfare (EW) suites positioned in civilian transit corridors near major bases. At Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, ground-based sabotage of the primary power grid coupled with a localized cyber-intrusion delayed the warm-up sequence of the AN/TPY-2 radar by several minutes. Simultaneously, Prince Sultan Air Base was hit by a wave of 400 low-cost, high-RCS wooden decoys that saturated the sensors. By the time operators distinguished the decoys from the 12 incoming Fateh-110 missiles, the AN/TPY-2 arrays were struck, rendering the regional ballistic missile defense net fragmented. Khatam-Al Anbiya Central Headquarters internally declared stage one a success at 8:43 PM IRST. Stage 2: 8:43 PM IRST The IRGC initiated a massive tiered saturation strike, deploying 1,328 Shahed-series drones in a continuous "conveyor belt" formation toward Al Udeid, NSA Bahrain, and Camp Arifjan. U.S. Aegis destroyers and Patriot batteries, operating on automated engagement profiles due to the high volume, expended over 600 interceptors against drones costing less than $20,000 each. When the follow-up wave of 976 high-payload ballistic missiles arrived, U.S. defenses faced magazine exhaustion. With VLS cells empty and reload procedures delayed by the ongoing drone swarm, 68% of the heavy munitions reached their terminal phase. Camp Arifjan’s main fuel manifold was incinerated, and the primary pier at NSA Bahrain collapsed, effectively trapping the 5th Fleet’s in-port assets. Khatam-Al Anbiya Central Headquarters internally declared stage two a success at 12:19 AM IRST. Stage 3: 12:22 AM IRST With the defensive umbrella punctured and radars struggling with EW interference, Iran deployed 27 hypersonic Fattah-series missiles directed at hardened logistics. The AN/FPS-132 Block 5 at Al Udeid was hit by three consecutive Fattah-2 strikes, utilizing their high-maneuverability to bypass the remaining point-defense systems. The "brain" of CENTCOM’s regional surveillance was blinded, and Al Udeid’s command-and-control bunker suffered a functional kill due to the total loss of external sensor feeds. Khatam-Al Anbiya Central Headquarters internally declared stage three a success at 1:28 AM IRST. Stage 4: 1:30 AM IRST The IRGC attempted to finish the remaining Patriot batteries using a final wave of drones and cruise missiles. However, U.S. forces transitioned to analog redundancy and deployed high-altitude Cyber-EW that successfully spoofed the internal gyros of 54% of the Iranian munitions. Missiles lost lock, with several impacting commercial districts in Al-Khor and Manama. Khatam-Al Anbiya Central Headquarters internally declared stage four an acute failure at 2:46 AM IRST. 3:54 AM IRST Operation "Wrath of God" was internally declared a success. While Stage 4 failed to eliminate every battery, the strategic aim, the expulsion of U.S. operational capacity from the Gulf, was achieved. At 7:30 AM IRST the following day, Iranian spokespeople appeared on state television claiming the "total obliteration" of CENTCOM forces and their acute "inability to continue operations against the steadfast Iranian people." Several government officials claimed the destruction of the entirety of the 5th fleet.
