The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced today that it launched ballistic missiles and drones at a US base in Jordan last night, destroying several refueling aircraft and fighter jets, and causing significant damage to other aircraft.

The IRGC also urged the people of Jordan to target the interests of "belligerent and anti-Islamic" America within Jordanian territory.

The United States and Jordan have not yet commented on the information. Previously, the Jordanian army stated it had shot down three Iranian missiles aimed at the country.

A ceasefire reached between the United States and Iran last month quickly collapsed, with attacks and retaliations occurring almost daily. This has nearly paralyzed shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and raised new investor concerns about impacts on the global economy.

On 16/7, US forces launched their sixth consecutive night of attacks against Iran, aiming to "further degrade Tehran’s military capabilities."

"US forces, including fighter jets, drones, and warships, launched precision munitions striking dozens of Iranian military targets such as coastal surveillance and air defense sites, military logistical infrastructure, and naval capabilities," US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated.

Iranian media reported that civilian facilities, including airports, railway stations, and two bridges in the southern part of the country, were hit, resulting in at least two fatalities.

Iran subsequently launched missiles and UAVs at US military bases in neighboring countries, including an air base in Jordan. By the morning of 17/7, the Iranian military announced it had attacked US facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait.
