Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has released satellite images that it says show hangars housing US military aircraft at Jordan’s Al Azraq air base, escalating its information battle with Washington.
The IRGC also called on the United States to end what it described as censorship and urged officials to provide the public with accurate information about the ongoing conflict.
The release comes after the United States rejected an Iranian claim that its forces had destroyed US F-35 fighter jets. Iranian authorities had earlier claimed that three American fighter aircraft were destroyed at the Al Azraq air base in Jordan.
In a statement, the IRGC said its forces had targeted three US F-35 aircraft stationed at the base. The claim has not been independently verified, while US officials have denied that Iran destroyed any American F-35s.
By publishing the satellite imagery, the IRGC appears to be seeking to support its version of events and challenge the US account of the reported attack. However, the images alone do not independently confirm whether any aircraft were damaged or destroyed.
The conflicting claims come amid heightened regional tensions and an ongoing exchange of accusations between Iran and the United States over military operations and attacks in the Middle East.
