    The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a retaliatory attack against the Al-Azraq airbase in Jordan, destroying three F-35 aircraft and damaging three others. The strike was in response to an American airstrike earlier that day on Qeshm Island, which resulted in the deaths of a family of three and injuries to two children. The IRGC stated that the region is not a place for an army that attacks innocent families and that their struggle will continue until the last American occupier is expelled from Islamic lands.
