The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims it struck Tower 22, a small US special forces base located on the remote Jordan-Syria border near the Al-Rukban area, with a missile. According to the report, the strike severely damaged or destroyed one hangar and hit residential facilities for US soldiers. No casualties have been reported, and the claim has not been independently verified by any official source.
The IRGC has made a series of similar claims in recent weeks, including alleged strikes on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Jordan, as reported by The Zioneer. Most of these claims remain unverified, and some have been explicitly denied by US Central Command or local authorities. The latest claim comes amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran following US strikes in southern Iran earlier this month.
The Tower 22 base is known to host US special operations forces and is located in a strategically sensitive area near the borders of Syria, Jordan, and Iraq. The al-Rukban area is a remote desert region that has been used by US forces for training and operations against ISIS. There has been no official comment from the US military on the latest claim.
