Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had destroyed several US tanker aircraft and fighter jets stationed in Jordan and knocked out two US radar installations in Oman, the military group announced on July 17.

The claims, issued in IRGC public relations statements, could not be independently verified. There has been no US or Jordanian confirmation of losses.

In a statement addressed to the Jordanian public, the IRGC said its forces had attacked US tankers and fighters at bases in Jordan in two waves, using ballistic missiles and drones. It said several aircraft were destroyed and more sustained serious damage. The operation was described as the 14th wave of a campaign the IRGC calls Nasr 2.

The statement said US forces had used bases in Jordan the previous night to strike targets in Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, including bridges, residential districts and a water pumping station. The IRGC characterised those strikes as war crimes against civilian targets. That characterisation is the IRGC's own.

The statement said the US moved its regional command centre, Central Command (CENTCOM), from Qatar to Al Azraq in Jordan following an IRGC attack on the Al Udeid base in Qatar last year.

It said US tankers and F-35, F-15 and F-16 aircraft are stationed in the country alongside the command centre. The IRGC called on Jordanians and the Jordanian army to strike US interests.

In a separate statement, the IRGC said its naval force had destroyed a maritime control radar at the Salamah rocks and a US air control radar in the Ghanam area of Oman at dawn on the same day. It described the action as the 13th wave of the Nasr 2 operation.

The IRGC said retaliatory operations were continuing and that the Strait of Hormuz remained under the control of its naval force.

A third attack, on Zayed Military City in Abu Dhabi, was reported by open-source intelligence accounts publishing satellite imagery of a destroyed warehouse. The UAE had earlier denied that it was attacked.

The exchanges have extended the conflict well beyond Iranian territory and into the Gulf states hosting US forces. Jordan, Oman, Qatar and the UAE have all now been named either as launch points for US operations or as targets of Iranian retaliation, and none has publicly acknowledged losses.

On the Iranian side, the maritime control tower at Chabahar port was completely destroyed in a US strike on the morning of July 17, state news agency IRNA reported. It was the third time the structure had been targeted. The blast was powerful enough to level the tower entirely. No casualties were reported.

Quays, equipment and operational infrastructure at the port were not damaged, according to the report. Technical and operational teams are assessing conditions for a resumption of port activity.

Chabahar sits on Iran's south-eastern coast in Sistan and Baluchestan province, on the Gulf of Oman and outside the Strait of Hormuz. It is Iran's only oceanic port and has been developed as a transit corridor for Indian and Central Asian trade, which makes it the country's main outlet for cargo that does not have to pass through the contested strait.

The IRGC statement on the Oman strikes was dedicated to the populations of Khuzestan, Bushehr, Hormozgan, and Sistan and Baluchestan provinces, the four coastal provinces that have absorbed the bulk of the strikes on Iranian ports and energy infrastructure.

Bandar Abbas, cited by the IRGC as the target of the US strikes launched from Jordan, is Iran's largest container port and the site of the Shahid Rajaee terminal. Chabahar and Bandar Abbas together handle the majority of Iran's non-oil maritime trade.
