The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force destroyed three American F-35 fighter jets and killed US military personnel in a retaliatory missile strike on Al Azraq Air Base in Jordan.

Axar.az reports, citing Tasnim News Agency, in a statement, the IRGC said that in the early hours of Thursday, the "helpless American enemy," instead of engaging in a fair military confrontation, used "occupied bases" in Jordan to launch bunker-buster bombs against two residential houses on Iran's Qeshm Island.

According to the IRGC, the attack resulted in the martyrdom of a father, a mother and one child, while two other children have been wounded.

It said that "in response to this crime" and "to help you liberate the Islamic land of Jordan from the calamity of the American occupiers," the IRGC Aerospace Force targeted the parking ramp and maintenance hangar used by American F-35 fighter jets at Al Azraq Air Base with several ballistic missiles.

The IRGC said the strike completely destroyed three F-35 fighter aircraft and inflicted heavy damage on three others.
