Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on Wednesday that it targeted two air bases in Jordan used by US forces, stating that its missile and drone strikes killed and wounded American troops. The claim was reported by the state-run IRNA news agency.
However, US defense officials denied the IRGC's assertion, telling Reuters that there were no reports of casualties or damage at any US bases in Jordan. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, and no independent verification of the IRGC's claim has been made.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Iran and its proxies frequently targeting US forces in the region. The US maintains a military presence in Jordan as part of its broader operations against the Islamic State and other threats.
As of July 23, 2026, no further details have been released by either side, and the situation remains under review by US Central Command.
