Following last night’s attacks by the US terrorist army on targets in southern Iran, the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in four waves, targeted a series of US military centers and bases in Jordan, Iraq and Bahrain.
According to reports received, the most important targets of these attacks were as follows:
Titen Camp; Ballistic Missiles on the Shores of the Gulf of Aqaba
In the first wave, the US Marines’ garrison at Titen Camp in Jordan came under a heavy ballistic-missile attack. The base is located near the Gulf of Aqaba and Jordan’s borders with the occupied Palestinian territories and Saudi Arabia. The Jordanian Army said it had intercepted 10 ballistic missiles but did not confirm whether any had struck the base or whether there were any casualties.
Prince Hassan Base; US Drone Shelters
In another wave, shelters housing long-range RQ-4 and MQ-9 unmanned aircraft at Jordan’s Prince Hassan Air Base came under missile attack. The base is considered one of the key sites for US air presence and support operations in Jordan. International reports also reported an Iranian attack on Prince Hassan Base.
Erbil; Technical Infrastructure and Spy System Targeted
In the third wave, a combined missile and drone attack was carried out against US support facilities in Erbil, Iraq. According to claims by Iranian sources, a maintenance facility and warehouses containing technical equipment belonging to the US Army were targeted, while the guidance system for a US surveillance balloon was also destroyed. Reuters has also confirmed Iranian attacks on US targets in Iraq during the latest response.
Sheikh Isa, Bahrain; Drone Attack on Radars and US Forces
In the fourth wave, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army said that, as part of the 29th phase of Operation “Thunderbolt,” a large number of attack drones targeted radar facilities and areas where US forces were gathered at Bahrain’s Sheikh Isa Base. The Iranian Army described the base as an important facility for the maintenance and servicing of helicopters and drone components, as well as a site for US reconnaissance aircraft.
The attacks came as tensions between Iran and the US escalated again following a period of de-escalation, with the scope of reciprocal attacks spreading to several countries hosting US forces in the region.
Summary
Last night, in four waves of attacks by Iran’s Armed Forces against US military positions in the region, US bases and military centers in Jordan, Iraq and Bahrain were targeted — from a US Marine garrison and shelters for strategic drones to maintenance, radar and troop-assembly facilities.
In one of the heaviest attacks, Titen Camp on the shores of the Gulf of Aqaba was targeted with ballistic missiles. Shelters for long-range RQ-4 and MQ-9 drones at Prince Hassan Air Base were also targeted in missile attacks.
In another wave, US Army maintenance facilities and warehouses containing technical equipment in Erbil were targeted with a combination of missiles and drones. Iranian sources also reported the destruction of the guidance system for a US surveillance balloon.
The fourth wave of attacks targeted radar facilities and areas where US forces were gathered at Bahrain’s Sheikh Isa Base with Iranian drones. Taken together, these attacks demonstrate the geographic scope of Iran’s response to the US military presence in the region.
