Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps thanked Jordanian soldiers for their cooperation and intelligence that enabled a strike on an American base in Jordan a day earlier, according to the IRGC's statement. The IRGC claimed two US soldiers were killed in the attack.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps released a statement Monday morning thanking Jordanian soldiers for their "cooperation and precise intelligence" that, it claimed, enabled Iranian forces to strike an American base in Jordan a day earlier. The IRGC said two US soldiers were killed in that attack.
The statement follows an earlier IRGC claim on Sunday that Jordanian cooperation allowed the destruction of 20 buildings housing US troops at the Al-Azraq airbase, as The Zioneer reported. The US military later confirmed that the death toll from Iranian attacks on American forces in Jordan had risen to four, with the remains of a missing soldier found.
The IRGC's latest statement, which does not name the specific base, is unverified by independent sources. It comes amid an ongoing series of Iranian claims about strikes on US positions in the region, many of which have not been corroborated by the US military or allied sources.
