Editorial Team

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Monday morning it struck fuel depots and ammunition storage facilities at Jordan’s Prince Hassan Air Base, claiming the sites caught fire in what it described as retaliation tied to US military infrastructure in the region.

The claim signals a potential escalation in Iran-US tensions and suggests a coordinated campaign spanning several countries that host or are linked to US military assets. The IRGC said the operation was a response to what it described as recent US strikes on Iranian coastal bases and related infrastructure—an assertion that has not been independently verified.

Key developments

The IRGC Public Relations Department said its Aerospace Force struck “key targets” at Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan, describing the base as a “critical hub” for American forces.
The IRGC claimed the strike sparked fires in fuel storage areas and ammunition facilities and said it was carried out in response to alleged US attacks on Iranian coastal bases.
The IRGC described the action as part of the “first phase” of a broader response to what it called recent US aggression, including reported strikes on Iranian coastal bases and telecommunications infrastructure in the south.
The IRGC said the operation used ballistic missiles and drones and warned that further US hostile actions would trigger “harsher and more comprehensive responses.”
In the same statement, Iran said Army forces conducted drone strikes on other US-linked targets, including a Patriot air defense system, an ammunition depot and a radar site in Kuwait, as well as communications and radar facilities in Bahrain.
The IRGC said “retaliatory operations” were ongoing and that further details would be released in subsequent statements.
The statement cited satellite imagery circulating after the reported strike, saying it showed visible damage and disturbances at the Prince Hassan facility.

Context and background

In its statement, the IRGC tied the reported attacks to a broader dispute over security in and around the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic maritime corridor. The IRGC said tensions rose after Iran’s Navy “thwarted attempts to provoke crises” in the strait through what it characterized as illegal vessel movements.

The IRGC claimed that after a naval operation involving two ships it said had shut down their systems and were moving illegally, the United States carried out strikes on Iranian coastal bases. The IRGC presented its reported missile and drone attacks as a direct response.

Details and evidence

According to the IRGC statement, the attack on Prince Hassan Air Base was carried out by the IRGC Aerospace Force and targeted fuel tanks and ammunition-related storage areas. The IRGC characterized the strike as “high precision” and said it relied on ballistic missiles and drones.

In its messaging, the IRGC used ideological language and described the United States in hostile terms. Voice of Urdu is presenting the IRGC’s operational claims as stated; independent confirmation, casualty information, and assessments of the extent of damage were not provided in the supplied material.

The IRGC also asserted that Iranian Army drone operations were conducted at the same time against what it called US-linked targets in Kuwait and Bahrain, listing the following sites:

In Kuwait: a Patriot air defense system, an ammunition depot and a radar site.
In Bahrain: communications and radar facilities.

The statement additionally referenced satellite imagery circulating after the reported strike, describing “visible damage and disturbances” at the Prince Hassan facility, without providing the imagery or a technical assessment.

Current status and next steps

As of the IRGC’s Monday morning statement, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said the first phase of its response had been carried out and that further operations were continuing. It also warned that any continuation of what it described as US hostile actions would prompt broader retaliation.

No additional official details were included in the source material regarding responses by Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, or the United States, and no independent confirmation of the reported strikes or damage was provided. Further information, including official reactions and on-the-ground assessments, remains awaited.
