The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran announced it attacked U.S. military bases in Jordan and Kuwait in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes. The IRGC claimed to have destroyed three U.S. F-35 fighter jets in Jordan, but U.S. officials denied any damage.
On July 30, the IRGC stated in a release that it launched several ballistic missiles targeting the Al-Azraq airbase in Jordan.
According to the IRGC, the attack resulted in the complete destruction of three F-35 jets and significant damage to three others. However, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) refuted this, stating, "There is no damage to U.S. aircraft."
The Jordanian military reported that it intercepted five Iranian missiles aimed at its territory, confirming that there were no casualties.
The IRGC also claimed to have targeted the Ali Al-Salem airbase in Kuwait, asserting that the attack destroyed two drone hangars and one fuel storage facility. However, neither U.S. nor Kuwaiti authorities have confirmed these claims.
In Kuwait, there was a reported fatality. The Kuwaiti Defense Ministry stated that an Iranian attack struck a building belonging to a Chinese company in the northern region, resulting in one worker's death and significant damage to the structure.
This series of attacks follows the resumption of U.S. airstrikes against Iran. CENTCOM reported that it had targeted IRGC command facilities, missile and drone sites, and naval assets in Iran the previous day, in response to earlier Iranian missile launches aimed at U.S. bases in the region.
The IRGC warned, "We will continue to attack U.S. facilities until America completely withdraws from the Middle East."
