Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it killed a large number of US troops and destroyed multiple drones and helicopters in a strike on Titin Camp in Jordan, according to the Iranian state-affiliated Mehr News agency. The claim, reported early Wednesday, follows the IRGC's release of footage late Tuesday of what it called the third wave of 'Punishment of the Aggressor' strikes targeting US assets in Jordan. The claim has not been independently verified.
The Zioneer has been tracking the Iranian strikes since Tuesday evening. At 22:54 Jerusalem on Tuesday, The Zioneer reported explosions in Eilat as Iranian missiles were detected heading toward Aqaba, Jordan. Footage later confirmed a ballistic missile strike on Aqaba. Reports then identified the targeted US installation as Camp Titin, a small US Marine Corps base in southern Jordan. The Zioneer subsequently released footage of Iranian ballistic missile launches toward the base, and the IRGC published video of a third wave of strikes. Throughout the sequence, no independent confirmation of damage or casualties has emerged.
The IRGC has a history of making unverified claims of strikes on US military assets. As The Zioneer has reported, the IRGC previously claimed strikes on the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, on bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, and on US fighter jets in Jordan. Those claims remain unconfirmed by independent sources.
The latest claim of massive US casualties at Titin Camp remains unverified. No US official has commented. Satellite imagery in the coming days may clarify the extent of damage at the site.
