Iran Guards say struck US aircraft in Jordan with missiles, drones
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they struck US military aircraft stationed in Jordan with ballistic missiles and drones in retaliation for overnight US strikes.
In a statement, they claimed to have destroyed “several US refueling aircraft and fighter jets” and caused “serious damage to many more.” They also called on Jordanians to target “the interests of the aggressive and anti-Islamic Americans” in their country.
There is no immediate comment from Jordan or the US military regarding the IRGC’s claims.
Earlier today, Jordan said it intercepted three Iranian missiles targeting its territory, with no reports of injuries or damage.
