IRGC Fires 10 Missiles at US Command Center, Air Base in Jordan
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) fired 10 ballistic missiles against the US command and control center in West Asia and an American air base in Jordan, warning that any further raid by Washington would trigger heavy strikes on other American bases across the region.
"In our previous statement, we said that any repetition of aggression would expand our response to other enemy bases in the region," the IRGC said in a statement on Thursday hours after Iran's initial retaliatory operations against US targets in Bahrain and Kuwait."In this second phase, we have made good on that threat against the aggressions of the child-killing American military," it added."The enemy's command and control center in West Asia and the Al-Azraq airbase in Jordan were crushed with 10 ballistic missiles," the statement read.
The missile barrage follows a significant escalation in the confrontation between Tehran and Washington, which began when US forces carried out aerial attacks on its coastal areas on Tuesday and Wednesday.At least 14 people were killed and 78 others injured in the raids, according to Iran’s Health Ministry.In response, the Iranian military launched a crushing and decisive retaliation, striking dozens of US military targets in several countries in the region.
The IRGC statement also warned that further attacks would follow if US assault continued."Should the terrorist US military repeat its aggression, the remaining US bases in the region will not be spared from our heavy fire," the IRGC stressed.
