Iran's Revolutionary Guard Claims Attack on US Base in Jordan

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a statement claiming to have killed a large number of US personnel in an attack on a base in Jordan. As of now, neither the United States nor Jordanian authorities have confirmed the strike or the reported casualties.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a statement on Tuesday asserting that it successfully targeted an American military base located in Jordan. The statement explicitly claimed that the operation resulted in the deaths of a large number of US forces.

Currently, there is a significant discrepancy between the claims made by the Iranian military and the information provided by international officials. Neither the United States government nor the Jordanian government has issued a confirmation regarding the attack or any associated casualties. Because the IRGC’s claim remains unverified by independent sources or the nations involved, the situation remains fluid and lacks official corroboration. The report relies solely on the IRGC’s public announcement, which has not been substantiated by external military or government entities.
