Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it struck Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan with ballistic missiles, destroying the command center and MQ-9 Reaper hangars. The IRGC framed the attack as the first phase of a response to what it described as US airstrikes on Iran's southern coastline. The claim is unverified by independent sources.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a statement claiming a ballistic missile strike on Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan, stating it destroyed the base's command-and-control center and hangars housing MQ-9 Reaper drones. The IRGC described the attack as the 'first phase' of a response to what it characterized as U.S. airstrikes on Iran's southern coastline. The claim is unverified by independent sources. As The Zioneer reported at 06:11 Jerusalem, the IRGC had previously claimed the same strike. The new statement adds the 'first phase' framing and the justification of retaliation for U.S. airstrikes. The IRGC has made a series of similar claims against U.S. and allied bases in recent weeks, but independent verification of damage has been elusive.
