The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on the 17th local time that
U.S. forces on the night of the 16th used bases in Jordan to strike non-military
targets in southern Iran, including several bridges, residential areas and a
water-pumping station at Bandar Abbas. In response the IRGC said it launched a
two-stage attack using multiple ballistic missiles and drones against U.S.
fighter jets and aerial refuellers deployed in Jordan, destroying several
tankers and fighters and causing significant damage to multiple aircraft.
