Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed to have “targeted American fighter jets and tankers stationed in Jordan”, in a statement to state media.
Iran also claimed to have destroyed High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) platforms and missiles in attacks on Kuwait at several locations, where Tehran said American forces and Israeli-backed fighters are stationed, Al Jazeera reported.
Iranian attacks eliminated “a large number of anti-revolutionaries and American special forces [and] the tit-for-tat operations are ongoing,” the IRGC said in a statement. The statement says the attack involved “several ballistic missiles and numerous drones” and resulted in the “destruction of several American tankers and fighter jets and serious damage to many more of them.”
The US did not immediately comment on the claim.
