▲ A video released by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shows damaged aircraft hangars at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Al-Azraq, Jordan. The IRGC claims the destroyed hangars were used for U.S. F-15 and F-16 fighter jets and that the attack destroyed two fighter jets and three other aircraft.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on July 20 (local time) that it had destroyed five aircraft, including fighter jets, at a U.S. military base in Al-Azraq, Jordan, and released footage of the incident.

The two-second video, posted by IRGC-affiliated media outlets such as Sepah News, shows one of three hangars completely destroyed and another partially damaged.

Regarding the video, the IRGC stated, "As part of the 20th phase of Operation Nasr-2, we launched an overwhelming simultaneous strike using missiles and drones on fighter jet shelters and a large apron at the U.S. military base in Al-Azraq, Jordan," claiming that the destroyed hangars were intended for F-15 and F-16 fighter jets.

The IRGC added, "It has been confirmed that at least two U.S. fighter jets and three other aircraft were completely destroyed in this attack, and significant damage was inflicted on several other aircraft."
