The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced the successful targeting of fuel depots and ammunition storage facilities at Jordan’s Prince Hassan Air Base, setting them ablaze in a precise retaliatory operation against US military infrastructure in the region.
The Public Relations Department of the IRGC stated on Monday morning that its Aerospace Force struck key targets at the US base, which serves as a critical hub for American forces. The operation resulted in fires raging through fuel storage areas and ammunition facilities, dealing a significant blow to US logistical capabilities and operational readiness in West Asia.
The statement said that the operation was carried out in direct response to US aggression against Iranian coastal bases.
This action forms part of the first phase of Iran’s coordinated response to recent US aggressions, including airstrikes on Iranian coastal bases and telecommunications infrastructure in the south.
The United States had escalated tensions after Iran’s Navy thwarted attempts to provoke crises in the strategic Strait of Hormuz through illegal vessel movements.
The IRGC emphasized that the strikes were carried out with high precision using ballistic missiles and drones, underscoring the defensive capabilities and unwavering resolve of Iran’s armed forces to protect national sovereignty and deter further bullying by the Great Satan.
Iranian Army forces simultaneously conducted drone strikes on other US-linked targets, including a Patriot air defense system, ammunition depot, and radar site in Kuwait, as well as communications and radar facilities in Bahrain. These synchronized operations highlight the unified strength of Iran’s military in confronting foreign aggression.
