The IRGC stated that it launched 12 ballistic missiles at a U.S. airbase in Jordan, claiming to have destroyed F-16, F-15, and F-35 aircraft along with critical facilities in retaliation for U.S. strikes on Iranian civilian and military targets.

In a statement, the IRGC public relations office said its aerospace force launched the missiles at the al-Azraq airbase and its control centre, targeting locations housing American fighter aircraft, The Caspian Post reports, citing Mehr news.

It said the strikes destroyed a large number of planes and important facilities belonging to the "child-killing U.S. army."

The operation was described as retaliation for U.S. missile attacks on a recreational venue, a production complex and the perimeter of a barracks near Karaj and Nazarabad, as well as a local IRGC base in Pishva.

The statement praised the "faithful and heroic people of Iran" for more than 100 days of steadfastness and resistance.

It said the operation will continue as long as enemy "mischief" persists.
