Tehran, MINA – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says it fired 12 ballistic missiles at the US-operated al-Azraq air base in Jordan in response to the missile attacks by Washington against the Islamic Republic.
Quoted from Press TV, in a statement on Thursday, the IRGC said that its Aerospace Force hit American F-35, F-15, and F-16 fighter jets and important facilities of the “terrorist US army” located at the airbase and a command-and-control center.
The missile attack destroyed the base’s facilities and a large number of the fighter jets, it added.
The IRGC warned that operations would continue as long as the enemy’s mischief persists.
