The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Thursday evening that it targeted a US command center in the Middle East and the Al-Azraq air base in Jordan with 10 ballistic missiles. The claim could not be independently verified.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Thursday evening issued a statement claiming it struck a US command center in the Middle East and the Al-Azraq air base in Jordan with 10 ballistic missiles. The claim is the latest in a series of Iranian statements about the attack, which first unfolded when the IRGC announced at 14:20 Jerusalem time that it had launched 10 ballistic missiles, a claim that Jordanian officials countered by reporting eight interceptions with no damage, as The Zioneer reported. The new statement specifies the targets but does not provide evidence of hits or a revised timeline.
Initial reports of the attack began at 13:41 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer first reported sirens in Jordan and missile launches from Iran. Within minutes, the count grew from one projectile to approximately five, then to five missiles confirmed, and finally to Jordanian sources reporting eight interceptions with no casualties. At 13:41, the IRGC made its first claim of 10 ballistic missiles and warned that other US bases in the region would not be immune from 'heavy fire.' Shortly after, the IRGC said the launch occurred at 14:20, and Jordan independently confirmed eight interceptions with no damage. The new statement now explicitly names the US command center and Al-Azraq Air Base as the intended targets.
The Zioneer has reported on the broader escalation between Iran and the US, including the IRGC's previous claims of strikes on US assets in Jordan and Iraq, and the IDF Chief of Staff's assessment that all fronts are in a transitional phase and that Iran remains the central focus of readiness. The new Iranian claim comes amid a series of Iranian statements about strikes on US and allied assets in the region.
The claim remains unverified by independent sources. US Central Command has not commented. Jordanian reports of eight interceptions with no damage contradict the IRGC's assertion of successful strikes. No evidence of damage or casualties at the Al-Azraq base or the command center has been provided, and the IRGC has not specified the timing of the strikes beyond the previously announced 14:20 launch.
