Iran's IRGC Says It Targeted U.S. C-17 and P-8 Aircraft in Jordan

Iran's IRGC claims responsibility for striking U.S. aircraft and hangars in Jordan, alleging dozens of troops were eliminated in retaliation.

  • On Thursday, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards attacked the Abdali border crossing between Kuwait and Iraq, according to a security source in Basra.
  • The strike followed an earlier bombardment of the Shalamcheh crossing on the Iran-Iraq border, which killed two people and wounded 11; Iranian officials attributed that attack to the United States.
  • Confirming the attack, the Kuwaiti Army reported the Abdali facility was subjected to "hostile drones," resulting in material damage with no recorded human injuries.
  • Kuwaiti authorities initially closed the border crossing following the strike, while Iraqi authorities later announced the resumption of operations at the transit route.
  • Explosions on the border coincide with the 12th consecutive day of escalation between Tehran and Washington, as U.S. Central Command forces completed another round of strikes against Iran on Thursday morning.
