The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has further specified its claimed strike on Prince Hassan Airbase in Jordan, now stating that missile depots and fuel storage facilities were hit. The IRGC described the attack as the first phase of retaliation for reported US strikes on Iranian coastal positions, repeating earlier rhetoric.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement at 10:33 Jerusalem this morning specifying that missile depots and fuel storage facilities were among the targets hit in its claimed strike on Prince Hassan Airbase in Jordan. The statement describes the attack as the "first phase" of retaliation for reported US strikes on Iranian coastal positions, adding a new detail to the IRGC's evolving narrative.
The story unfolded over the past 24 hours. At 04:52 Jerusalem on Sunday, initial unverified reports of Iranian missile launches emerged. Within minutes, reports indicated missiles were targeting US bases in Jordan, and later that about 10 ballistic missiles had been launched toward Jordan and Kuwait. By 04:52, Jordanian officials confirmed via Israeli media that three Iranian missiles struck its territory without casualties, and the Jordanian army later officially confirmed the impact. Damage reports followed, with minor damage at Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base and unspecified damage at Prince Hassan Base. At 04:52, the IRGC publicly claimed responsibility for the strike on Prince Hassan, describing it as the first phase of retaliation. On Monday morning, the IRGC elaborated: at 05:26 it claimed strikes on fuel and ammunition depots; at 07:00 it specified using missiles and drones; at 08:56 it repeated the claim while threatening the Strait of Hormuz. The latest statement at 10:33 adds missile depots to the target list.
As The Zioneer has reported, the IRGC has a pattern of claiming strikes on multiple bases across the region, including in Bahrain and Kuwait, and has previously threatened the Strait of Hormuz. The current claims are part of a broader retaliation narrative tied to reported US strikes on Iranian coastal positions.
The claims remain unverified by independent sources. No independent evidence of damage or attack on Prince Hassan or Muwaffaq al-Salti bases has emerged. The United States has not commented on the IRGC's statements.
