POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — The United States military announced on Sunday the conclusion of its latest round of airstrikes targeting Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. This action follows a deadly attack that resulted in the loss of American troops in Jordan.

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the strikes were in direct response to the attack in Jordan, which led to casualties among U.S. service members. The Revolutionary Guard, officially known as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was specifically targeted in this military operation.

“The strikes were conducted to deter further aggression — and to demonstrate our resolve in protecting U.S. personnel — and interests in the region,” a CENTCOM spokesperson stated.

Further details regarding the specific locations and extent of the damage caused by the airstrikes haven’t been disclosed. The U.S. military continues to monitor the situation closely, prepared for any further escalations.
