The Iranian military said that in the seventh phase of its Operation Sa'eqa, it struck the location of F-18 fighter jets, an accommodation building, and a large equipment shed at the US Al-Azraq airbase in Jordan one hour ago. The claim is unverified by independent sources and follows a series of similar Iranian announcements.
The Iranian army claimed a new drone strike on the US Al-Azraq airbase in Jordan, asserting it hit F-18 fighter jet positions, an accommodation building, and a large equipment shed about one hour before midnight Tuesday. The military described the strike as the seventh phase of "Operation Sa'eqa," a campaign of drone attacks against US bases that it says began after the US violated a ceasefire and launched operations against Iran.
The claim, issued through official Iranian military channels, is unverified by independent sources. US Central Command has not confirmed any damage or casualties at the base. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple Iranian claims of strikes on US bases in the region: on June 10, Iran said it struck targets in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan; on June 11, it claimed a complex intelligence operation targeting aircraft in Bahrain and Kuwait; and on July 9, the IRGC claimed a ballistic missile strike on the same Al-Azraq base, asserting destruction of F-35 hangars. None of those claims were independently confirmed at the time.
Iran's army has stated that the drone operations will continue until "final victory." The region remains on high alert, with the US military maintaining a significant presence in Jordan and other Gulf states.
