Iran claims destruction of three US F-35 jets at Jordan air base
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it launched ballistic missiles at the Al Azraq (Muwaffaq Salti) air base in Jordan, claiming total destruction of three United States F‑35 fighter jets, severe damage to three additional jets and the killing of several officials and technical staff. The IRGC said the strike was retaliation for a U.S. airstrike on Iran's Qeshm island that killed a family. Jordan's air‑defence forces reported intercepting and shooting down five missiles, stating there were no casualties or material damage. The United States Central Command has not confirmed the Iranian allegations. The claims were reported by multiple Iranian state media outlets.
