Iran Strikes US Bases in Oman, Syria, and Jordan in Retaliation

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced Friday that its forces had targeted and destroyed US military assets in Oman and Syria. The IRGC stated that maritime surveillance radar in the Salamah, Oman, and another radar on Ghanam island were destroyed during what it termed the "13th wave of Operation Nasr-2."

This morning, the IRGC naval forces targeted and destroyed a maritime surveillance radar in the Salamah area, as well as a US surveillance radar on the Ghanam island of Oman during the 13th wave of Operation Nasr-2.

Furthermore, the IRGC claimed a surprise retaliatory attack on a US special operations command center in the At Tanf area of southwestern Syria. This operation reportedly destroyed a US radar system, several special operations helicopters, and resulted in casualties among military personnel. The IRGC framed these actions as direct retaliation for a US airstrike near Iranshahr in southeastern Iran, which allegedly killed seven Iranian personnel, including soldiers and conscripts.

The IRGC also revealed it had launched a surprise retaliatory attack on a US special operations command center based in the At Tanf area of southwestern Syria.

Adding to the escalation, Iran reportedly launched ballistic missiles and drones targeting US refueling aircraft and fighter jets stationed in Jordan. These developments occur despite a memorandum of understanding signed in mid-June between Iran and the US to end military conflict. Since July 8, US forces have conducted a series of attacks against Iran, which CENTCOM attributed to Iran's actions against commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The escalating tensions have led to a surge in global oil prices.

This operation was in retaliation for a US airstrike near the city of Iranshahr in southeastern Iran.
