The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it struck the US command-and-control center in the Middle East and the Al-Azraq air base in Jordan with 10 ballistic missiles, and warned that if the US military repeats 'aggression,' additional American bases in the region will not be immune from 'heavy fire,' according to Israeli journalist Sapir Lipkin. The claims remain unverified by independent sources.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued a warning that additional US bases in the region 'will not be immune' from 'heavy fire,' reiterating a threat first made alongside its claim of a 10-ballistic-missile strike on the US command-and-control center and Al-Azraq air base in Jordan. The Zioneer first reported the IRGC's statement at 16:18 Jerusalem, with the warning now underscored as a fresh development. The claim and warning arrive after a sequence of reports of Iranian missile launches toward Jordan earlier today.
At 13:41 Jerusalem, initial reports emerged of launches from Iran toward Jordan, followed by confirmed numbers: five missiles, then eight, with Jordanian sources reporting successful interceptions. The IRGC subsequently claimed that 10 ballistic missiles struck the US command center and Al-Azraq base. The claims remain unverified; US Central Command has not confirmed any attack. The warning was part of the same IRGC statement reported at 13:41, but is now being highlighted as the key takeaway.
As The Zioneer has reported over the past month, the IRGC has made a series of similar claims against US military assets in the region, including alleged strikes on bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Many of these assertions remain unverified, with US officials either denying or declining to confirm them. The latest warning comes amid an ongoing standoff between Iran and the United States.
What remains open: independent verification of the claimed strike, the US military's response, and whether the IRGC's warning signals a new threshold or is a reiteration of previous threats. No casualties or damage have been confirmed by independent sources.
