〰 IRGC Statement No. 16: The maintenance ramp for American fighter jets and the new U.S. command-and-control center in West Asia in Al-Zarqā, Jordan were targeted by Khaybar-Shekan ballistic missiles

Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC): Honorable and noble people of Jordan Last night, the U.S.-puppet army, in an open act of aggression, using airbases located in Jordan, targeted various parts of Iran, including the area around a children’s cancer hospital, such that 121 children with cancer were evacuated from there. This is not the first American crime carried out using bases stationed in Jordan. Previously, in an American attack on a primary school in Minab, 168 children were torn apart. In response to these acts of aggression, the Aerospace Forces of the IRGC, in the eighth wave of Operation Nasr 2, with the auspicious code “Ya Zaynab al-Kubra (peace be upon her),” carried out two waves of missile attacks and targeted a very extensive base in Al-Zarqā, Jordan: the maintenance ramp for American fighter jets and the new U.S. command-and-control center in West Asia. They destroyed them. Honorable people of Jordan, you have experienced the crimes of America and the Zionists up close better than any other nation. Do not allow the sacred land of Jordan—where the resting place of the prophets is—to be used for these crimes against children. With all your capability, strike at America’s interests and cleanse your own land of the presence of the arrogant American occupiers.
