Iran Army launches drone strikes on US forces in Jordan

The Iranian Army has announced that it carried out drone strikes targeting US military positions in Jordan.

In a statement released on Sunday, the Iranian army said its forces launched drone attacks at dawn against logistics depots, support equipment storage facilities, and accommodation sites used by US troops at al-Azraq Air Base in eastern Jordan.

The statement described al-Azraq as one of the most significant military hubs in the region, citing its advanced infrastructure and substantial personnel capacity.

It also stated that the base serves as a key operational center for the United States and its allies, hosting a combination of fighter jets and transport aircraft used in regional military operations.

The Iranian army further noted that due to its strategic location, the base has been used as a critical platform for planning and conducting airstrikes against Iran.

The statement concluded by emphasizing that Iran’s armed forces remain committed to defending the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, vowing to continue their mission with resolve and in remembrance of those killed in past conflicts.

On February 28, the United States and the Israeli regime launched an unprovoked war on Iran, assassinating former Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as well as several top military commanders.

Iran immediately began to retaliate against the aggression by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on the US bases in regional countries.
