Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Monday claimed attacks on Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan with missiles and drones, setting fire to arms, ammunition and several storage bases.
The attacks came in response to CENTCOM’s fourth round of military strikes conducted on Iran with standoff munitions, including missiles.
In a statement issued here, the IRGC said that the attack was part of its response to US strikes following repeated attacks conducted on Iranian coastal military bases.
It said the US launched fresh attacks followed by an operation by the IRGC Navy to stop two ships in the Strait of Hormuz that it accused of “switching off their tracking systems, travelling illegally and endangering navigation”.
The IRGC said its retaliatory operations are continuing and that the results would be announced in subsequent statements.
Reports on Monday confirmed that the IRGC targeted what it described as enemy bases with large-scale missile and drone attacks in the region.
The statement also announced the continuity of the attacks over the next 48 hours until the US ceases its military strikes.
Tensions had escalated sharply after United States President Donald Trump said the Memorandum of peace was over since Iran had itself broken the ceasefire by attacking a Cyprus-flagged ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
Mediators Qatar and Pakistan are working in close coordination to bring both parties back to the negotiating table, though evidence from several sides shows that Iran clearly violated the terms by attacking a commercial ship.
Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that oil prices, despite fluctuating, have not posed any pressure on the international market, and many have found suitable and sustainable solutions to avoid dependency on crude oil.
According to the latest data from oil marketing firms, demand is set to decline in 2026 — six years after Covid-19.
