Unconfirmed reports indicate that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has announced ballistic missile strikes against the Al-Azraq airbase in Jordan, claiming the attacks targeted US military aircraft and drones.
The IRGC stated that the strikes were carried out during the third phase of the second wave of what it called "Operation Nasr 2" — also referred to in some statements as "Operation Promised Victory 2." According to IRGC statements issued via Iranian state-affiliated Telegram channels, the attacks targeted hangars containing F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets, as well as MQ-9 strategic drones at the Al-Azraq base.
The IRGC characterized the operation as a counter-attack in response to US actions, claiming that American bases in Jordan had been used to launch attacks against Iran. The statements also referenced the killing of schoolchildren in Minab, which the IRGC attributed to operations launched from these bases.
These reports remain unconfirmed by independent sources. No verification is available from US Central Command, Jordanian authorities, or other independent military analysts. The Al-Azraq base houses US and allied forces as part of the US presence in the region.
The IRGC issued direct statements to the Jordanian people, asserting that Iran harbors no hostility toward Jordan and expressing what it described as love for the Jordanian people due to their support for Palestine.
