IRGC Claims Missile and Drone Strikes on US Bases in Jordan

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in Statement No. 42 that the 25th wave of Operation Nasr 2 targeted the US-linked King Faisal and Prince Hassan bases in Jordan with missile and drone strikes. The IRGC said the operation was launched in response to recent US attacks on Iranian military and civilian sites and was carried out under the codename “Ya Hassan ibn Ali.”

According to the statement, the strikes allegedly hit a hangar used for preparing F-15 fighter jets, a drone maintenance facility, and a helicopter hangar. The IRGC claimed that eight MQ-9 drones were destroyed before entering operational service, while two additional MQ-9 drones were heavily damaged. It also said that two US heavy-lift helicopters sustained significant damage after the helicopter hangar was struck.

The IRGC further claimed that a strike on a US troop accommodation facility resulted in an unspecified number of American personnel being killed or wounded. It warned that Iranian military operations would continue and said that if US attacks persist, Tehran would carry out what it described as more severe retaliatory operations.
