Iran Claims Missile Attack on U.S. Base in Jordan Amid Escalating Regional Tensions

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for launching a ballistic missile attack targeting a U.S. air base and its Central Command center in Jordan. The IRGC announced the strike on Wednesday, characterizing it as a direct response to what they described as "aggressive actions" by the U.S. military against Iran.

In a statement published by Iranian state media, the IRGC declared, "The brave warriors of the IRGC Aerospace Force attacked the U.S. Army's air base and Central Command Center in Jordan with several ballistic missiles." The statement further warned that "as long as threats against Iran continue and illegal actions by U.S. forces against our interests persist, resistance will continue." The IRGC emphasized that U.S. officials must cease their threats and illegal interventions.

The brave warriors of the IRGC Aerospace Force attacked the U.S. Army's air base and Central Command Center in Jordan with several ballistic missiles.

This escalation follows a series of retaliatory actions. The U.S. and Saudi Arabia recently conducted precision strikes against positions held by Iran-aligned terrorist groups in eastern Iraq. These strikes were reportedly in retaliation for over thirty drone attacks orchestrated by the IRGC against U.S. forces and Saudi energy infrastructure within the preceding 72 hours, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).

CENTCOM reported that the U.S. and Saudi attacks destroyed several logistical and weapons centers. The command issued a stern warning to the IRGC and its allies, urging them to halt their attacks to prevent further U.S. military responses. This latest exchange marks a significant increase in tensions in the region.

While threats against Iran continue and illegal actions by U.S. forces against our interests persist, resistance will continue. The threats of U.S. officials and illegal interventions against our interests must cease.
