US launches 8th night of strikes on Iran to 'punish' IRGC for deadly Jordan attack

The Times of Israel · back to the audit

The United States on Sunday said it had completed an eighth straight night of strikes against Iran, saying they were intended to "punish" Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for a deadly strike that killed two US military personnel in Jordan and left another missing. "The strikes are designed to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and swiftly punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces who launched attacks against American service members in Jordan last night," the command said. The semiofficial Iranian news agency Fars, believed to be close to the Guard, issued a threat Saturday to the UAE. Quoting an anonymous official, Fars said continued strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure would mean that the "airports of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as well as the ports of Fujairah and Jebel Ali, must be immediately evacuated." The US and Israel together launched a campaign against Iran on February 28 to degrade the regime's military capabilities.
