The IRGC said its Aerospace Force launched heavy ballistic missiles at Camp Titin, a U.S. Marine facility near Aqaba, in the second wave of an operation it calls Punish the Aggressor. The force used the code phrase Ya Rasul Allah and released footage it said showed missiles striking U.S. targets in Jordan. Iranian state media described the camp as close to Eilat and the Saudi border and used for rapid-response Marine exercises and amphibious operations. The IRGC claimed U.S. casualties and damage to facilities and attack helicopters; those assertions have not been independently verified.
