IRGC reports casualties among US troops in latest strikes on Jordan bases

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its 25th wave of Operation Nasr 2 targeted the US King Faisal and Prince Hassan bases in Jordan with missile and drone strikes. The operation, carried out under the code name “Ya Hassan ibn Ali,” was dedicated to the victims of the Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab. According to the IRGC’s Public Relations Office, the strikes were in response to recent US attacks on Iranian military and civilian sites.

The IRGC statement said a hangar used to prepare F-15 fighter jets was struck, along with a drone maintenance facility. The IRGC claimed that eight new MQ-9 drones were destroyed before entering service, while two additional MQ-9 drones sustained heavy damage. The statement also said two US heavy-lift helicopters suffered significant damage after a helicopter hangar was hit.

In addition, the IRGC reported that a strike on a US troop accommodation facility resulted in an unspecified number of American personnel being killed or wounded. The IRGC said its military operations would continue and warned that if US attacks persist, Iran would launch more severe retaliatory operations.

According to Mehr News, the IRGC’s statement did not provide specific numbers of casualties or further details on the extent of damage. The report by Mehr News added that the operation was part of ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States.
