IRGC strikes US command center and airbase in Jordan with ballistic missiles

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Thursday that it had launched a missile strike against a US command and control center in West Asia and an American airbase at Al Azraq in Jordan. The attack, which involved 10 ballistic missiles fired at 2:20 pm local time, was described by the IRGC as the second phase of Iran's response to recent US military aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In a statement, the IRGC warned that any further US aggression would trigger heavy attacks on other American bases across the region. The statement emphasized that the IRGC had previously cautioned that any renewed US attack would broaden the scope of Iran's retaliatory operations to include additional American military bases in the region.

The IRGC further warned that if the "terrorist US military" repeats its attacks against Iran, other American bases across the region "will not be spared from our heavy fire." The missile strike targeted the US command and control center in West Asia and the airbase at Al Azraq in Jordan, according to the IRGC.

The development marks a significant escalation in tensions between Iran and the United States, following earlier US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. The IRGC's statement did not provide details on casualties or damage at the targeted sites. According to Mehr News Agency, the IRGC's Aerospace Force carried out the operation.
