IRGC Says It Targeted US Air Base in Jordan After Deadly Strike in Qeshm

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said an overnight US attack struck two residential houses in Qeshm with bunker-buster bombs, killing three members of the same family a father, mother, and child and injuring two other children, according to a statement issued by the IRGC’s Public Relations Office.

The IRGC said it responded on Thursday morning by launching several ballistic missiles at the parking apron and maintenance hangars used by US F-35 fighter jets at Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan. The force claimed the attack destroyed three F-35 aircraft, heavily damaged three others, and killed several US officers and maintenance personnel. These claims have not been independently verified, and there has been no immediate confirmation from US or Jordanian authorities.

The IRGC also thanked the people of Jordan for what it described as their support and the outspoken positions of segments of the country’s elite. It said its military campaign against US forces would continue until “the last American occupier is expelled from Islamic lands.”
