IRGC claims attacks on US aircraft facilities, bases in Jordan: state media

Published Updated

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims it struck US bases in Jordan, which resulted in “multiple casualties”.

“The IRGC Aerospace Force launched the 25th wave of Operation Nasr 2 as a direct counter to hostile provocations,” a statement carried by state news agency IRNA reads.

“In its first phase, a combined missile-and-drone assault on the Malik Faisal and Prince Hassan bases, an F-15 assembly hangar was successfully hit. In a separate strike on a drone preparation facility, eight factory-fresh MQ9 drones, still unopened in their original crates, were obliterated prior to deployment, while two additional units parked nearby suffered heavy damage,” it adds.

The IRGC claims an attack on a helicopter storage hangar caused major destruction to two large American helicopters aircraft, while a strike on a barracks “resulted in multiple casualties among enemy personnel”.
