The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack targeting a United States Marine Corps barracks located at Camp Titus, a military base near the Gulf of Aqaba in Jordan. In a statement issued by the Iranian state broadcaster, IRIB, the IRGC asserted that the attack resulted in significant casualties among American forces and the destruction of “several enemy installations and attack helicopters” at the camp. Furthermore, the IRGC stated its intent to continue retaliatory actions against perceived American attacks within southern Iran.
In parallel developments, the Jordanian Armed Forces reported intercepting multiple ballistic missiles entering the Kingdom’s airspace. According to the Jordanian military, their air defense systems successfully intercepted and destroyed a total of 10 missiles. Additionally, the reports indicated that three other missiles were recorded landing within the airspace.
The claims from the IRGC regarding the attack on Jordanian soil have been met with conflicting reports. The Jordanian government has maintained its own account of the security incidents involving the missiles. The exchange of statements suggests escalating tensions in the region, with the IRGC making direct claims regarding military action against US interests in Jordan, while Jordan details its defensive measures against incoming projectiles.
