02:35Akaba Airport in Jordan has become the latest flashpoint in the escalating U.S.-Iran War
02:41after Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed it struck American aircraft with ballistic missiles.
02:48The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, says its aerospace force launched what
02:56it described as a precision missile operation targeting U.S. military aircraft at King Hussein
03:03International Airport, also known as Akaba Airport, in southern Jordan.
03:08According to Iranian state-linked media reports, the targets included U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster
03:17III transport aircraft and U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft.
03:23The IRGC claimed multiple aircraft suffered major damage during the attack.
03:29Iranian officials described the strike as part of the 21st wave of their retaliatory campaign,
03:36referred to as Nasser II.
03:39The group also claimed that intelligence from inside Jordan helped enable the attack, calling
03:45it a highly accurate strike against American assets.
03:49However, these claims have not been independently verified.
03:53The reported attack comes amid a wider cycle of escalation between Washington and Tehran.
04:00In recent weeks, Iran has launched waves of missiles and drones against U.S.-linked facilities
04:06across the region, while the United States has continued strikes targeting Iranian military capabilities.
04:13Iran has previously claimed successful strikes against U.S. bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait,
04:21including attacks on aircraft shelters, command centers, and military facilities.
04:27In several cases, U.S. and regional officials have disputed the scale of the reported damage,
04:34citing air defense interceptions and limited confirmed losses.
04:38There is also uncertainty surrounding the exact location mentioned in the latest claim.
04:44Akaba Airport is primarily a civilian airport in southern Jordan, while the main U.S.-linked military
04:52airfield in Jordan is Mufak-al-Salty Air Base near Azraq.
04:57Iranian statements have at times referenced different sites during the ongoing conflict.
05:02So far, U.S., Jordanian, and independent sources have not confirmed damage to American aircraft
05:10at Akaba Airport.
05:12There has been no official confirmation of destroyed aircraft or large-scale casualties from
05:18this reported attack.
05:19The claim adds another dangerous layer to the conflict, as Jordan sits between key regional
05:26players and hosts important military cooperation with the United States.
05:31With tensions rising and retaliatory strikes continuing, any confirmed attack on U.S. aircraft
05:38in Jordan could mark a significant escalation in the ongoing confrontation.
05:44The situation remains fluid, with both sides releasing competing accounts of battlefield developments.
