Punitive operation’: Iran’s Guards hail missile attack on US air base in Jordan

"The 'punitive operation' damaged maintenance and repair facilities, deployment locations and shelters for fighter jets," state-run IRNA quoted an IRGC official as saying.

The strikes came after Tehran urged crews on oil tankers off Kuwait and Bahrain to leave their vessels, warning they "will be targeted", the Guards said in a statement posted on IRNA.
