The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced it launched 10 ballistic missiles at 14:20 Jerusalem time targeting a US command center and the Al-Azraq air base in Jordan. Jordanian sources reported that eight missiles were intercepted with no damage, while the IRGC warned of further strikes on US bases if American 'aggression' continues.
At 14:20 Jerusalem time, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed it launched 10 ballistic missiles at a US command-and-control center and the Al-Azraq air base in Jordan, as previously claimed. Jordanian sources reported that eight missiles were intercepted with no casualties or damage. This development adds the specific launch time and Jordanian interception data to the evolving account.
The Zioneer has been tracking this story since the first reports at 13:41 Jerusalem, when sirens were reported in Jordan and initial launches were detected. By 13:50, the IRGC had claimed a 10-missile strike on the US command center and Al-Azraq base. Subsequent reports at 16:21 added the IRGC's warning that other US regional bases would not be immune from 'heavy fire,' and at 16:27, Iranian media confirmed the launch details. The number of missiles reported shifted from initial estimates of five to eight interceptions reported by Jordanian sources, and finally to the IRGC's claim of 10. The IRGC's threat level escalated as it explicitly warned of further strikes on American bases if the US continues what it calls 'aggression.'
This event is part of a broader pattern of Iranian missile strikes on US assets in the region, as The Zioneer reported on Wednesday, June 10, when the IRGC claimed to have fired at least 11 solid-fuel missiles at Muwaffaq al Salti US Air Base in Jordan, and separately claimed destruction of F-35 hangars at Al-Azraq. The current strikes continue a series of escalating confrontations between Iran and US forces in the region, with Jordanian territory directly targeted.
The IRGC's claims remain unverified by independent sources, and US Central Command has not commented. The exact impact on the targeted bases, including any damage or casualties, is not yet confirmed. The discrepancy between the IRGC's claim of 10 missiles and Jordan's report of eight interceptions also remains unresolved, though it may reflect missiles that fell outside Jordanian territory or were not intercepted.
