Iran Army launches drone strikes on US warplanes in Jordan

The Iranian Army has confirmed launching a drone strike on American fighter jets stationed at a US military base in Jordan, more than a month after the United States and Israel initiated an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran.

In its 52nd official statement since the onset of hostilities, the Army announced that its drones had struck al-Azraq Airbase, a key US military hub in eastern Jordan.

The base is known for its advanced infrastructure and substantial personnel presence, making it one of the most strategically important military sites for the US in West Asia.

“In the early hours of Thursday, the courageous soldiers of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army targeted advanced fighter jets of the terrorist army of the United States stationed at al-Azraq base in Jordan with drone attacks,” the statement read.

The announcement emphasized the significance of al-Azraq base, which plays a central role in coordinating US air aggression, including the use of advanced warplanes and drone missions targeting Iran and allied resistance forces.

According to the Army, the strike was aimed at weakening the enemy’s aerial combat capabilities.

Last week, the Iranian Army conducted another drone attack on al-Azraq, targeting logistics depots, support equipment storage, and accommodation facilities used by US troops at the base.

On March 22, Iran formally protested to the United Nations and the UN Security Council over Jordan’s role in facilitating US military operations against Iran.

Iran’s Ambassador to the UN Amir Saeed Iravani, called on Jordan to cease any support or facilitation of these operations immediately. He also urged the country to prevent the use of its territory or airspace for attacks against Iran.

In addition, Ambassador Iravani asserted that Iran reserves the right to pursue legal actions at the international level to hold Jordan accountable and seek compensation for its role in the ongoing US-Israeli terrorist war.
