Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for firing into Jordan, according to a statement. Reports also indicate explosions were heard in the United Arab Emirates, though the cause and source of those explosions have not yet been confirmed. The IRGC's claim follows earlier unverified reports of strikes in the region.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officially claimed responsibility for the firing into Jordan in the early hours of Monday, according to a statement. The claim follows an earlier report at 01:57 Jerusalem time that the IRGC had already taken responsibility, but this message from the Zioneer Intelligence Desk appears to confirm the group's public acknowledgment. Separately, reports from the region indicate explosions were heard in the United Arab Emirates, though it is not yet clear whether these were directly related to the IRGC's activity. The development marks a further escalation in Iran's direct involvement in the region, as the IRGC has been increasingly active in striking targets beyond its borders.
