The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) IRGC Aerospace Force Command announced in a statement on Wednesday morning that in response to the “aggressive actions of the child-killing US army, an hour ago, the brave warriors of the IRGC Aerospace Force targeted the US army command center and air base in Jordan with several ballistic missiles.”
The statement added that as long as the threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran continue and the illegal and evil actions of the US forces against Iran’s interests are ongoing, the resistance will continue.
“The threats of the US authorities and illegal interventions against our interests must stop,” it concluded.
The United States has perpetrated numerous violations against Iranian territory since April 7, when US President Donald Trump announced a unilateral ceasefire in the latest bout of wholesale American-Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic.
The violations continued even after Washington and Tehran signed a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding last month, whose first clause had clearly mandated cessation of aggression on all fronts.
In line with the MoU, the Islamic Republic also designated a maritime route for safe and legal passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The US has, however, been trying to help ships evade the route by seeking to escort trespassing vessels through an illegal passageway.
Iran’s Armed Forces have staged uncompromising retaliation in the face of each instance of violation, including those taking place in support of illegal vessel movement in the Strait of Hormuz.
