IRGC Announces 27th Wave of Operation Nasr 2
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Friday that it had launched the twenty-seventh wave of Operation Nasr 2, targeting multiple American military installations across the region.
In a series of statements, the IRGC said its operations struck US military assets in Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait while also targeting what it described as an Amazon data center that provides intelligence support to the US military.
According to the IRGC, “punitive operations” against American forces are continuing.
Amazon Facility, Ali Al-Salem Base Targeted
The IRGC said its fighters destroyed the remaining building of an Amazon data center, stating that the facility played “the main role in completing the intelligence” of the US military.
In a separate statement, the Guard said ultra-heavy attack drones struck a large ammunition depot at the US Ali Al-Salem Air Base.
It said the depot was destroyed in a series of explosions and claimed that six buildings housing US personnel were destroyed while three others sustained significant damage.
The statement also said several American troops were killed or wounded during the strikes.
Jordan and Iraq Operations
In another statement, the IRGC said its Aerospace Force carried out a “crushing attack” on the US military base at Azraq in Jordan.
According to the Guard, several US military aircraft sustained serious damage and a residence used by American personnel was destroyed, resulting in deaths and injuries.
The IRGC also announced that its forces destroyed a Patriot air defense system and a US surveillance balloon in Erbil, in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region. It further stated to have targeted housing used by American troops in the city.
Warning to Civilians
The Guard warned civilians in countries hosting US forces to avoid locations where American troops are deployed.
It said that many US officers and soldiers had left their military bases and moved into civilian buildings to avoid Iranian attacks.
The IRGC urged residents to remain at least 500 meters away from such locations and called on the public to report new US troop positions through its official public relations channels.
IRGC Challenges US Casualty Figures
The IRGC also disputed official US casualty figures, asserting that the American military has suffered hundreds of deaths and many more wounded during the conflict.
It claimed the regular evacuation of wounded personnel by medical aircraft to a US military hospital in Germany demonstrated the scale of US losses.
The Guard accused Washington of concealing the true human and financial costs of the war and called on American media organizations to investigate what it described as official censorship.
US Continues Strikes across Iran
The Iranian announcements came as the United States launched its thirteenth consecutive night of attacks on Iran.
According to Iranian media and local officials, US strikes targeted 16 cities across the country, including Bandar Abbas, Jask, Konarak, Ahvaz, Omidiyeh, Andimeshk, Khorramabad, Borujerd, Taft, Shirkuh, Firuzabad, and locations in Isfahan, Markazi, and Kerman provinces.
Authorities in Khuzestan reported four people killed and five others injured around Ahvaz, while officials in Hormozgan said several civilians were wounded during strikes on Bandar Abbas Port.
The IRGC also announced that its air defenses intercepted and destroyed a US Tomahawk cruise missile over Kahnuj in Kerman Province.
Iran says US attacks have continued daily for nearly two weeks, primarily targeting western and southern regions, including ports, bridges, and other infrastructure, while Iranian forces have responded with strikes against US military bases and interests across the region.
