The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) asserted that it conducted a ballistic missile attack targeting a United States Marine Corps barracks located at Camp Titin, a military base situated near the Gulf of Aqaba in Jordan. According to a statement released by the Iranian state broadcaster IRIB, the IRGC claims that the assault resulted in numerous casualties among U.S. personnel, in addition to the destruction of “several enemy installations and attack helicopters” at the camp.
Furthermore, the IRGC stated its intention to continue responding to perceived U.S. actions within southern Iran. In a separate development, the Jordanian Armed Forces reported that their air defense systems successfully intercepted 13 ballistic missiles that entered the Kingdom’s airspace.
Jordanian military sources indicated that ten of these rockets were intercepted and destroyed, while the remaining three fell in locations far removed from populated areas. Jordanian authorities subsequently confirmed that there were no reports of injuries or casualties resulting from the incident. It is important to note that the specific claims made by the IRGC regarding the scale of damage or the number of U.S.
casualties at the base have not been independently verified by international observers. The reports present contrasting accounts regarding the security situation in the region.
