Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it launched a heavy ballistic-missile attack on Camp Titin, a U.S. Marine facility on the Gulf of Aqaba coast near Aqaba in southern Jordan, claiming a large number of U.S. personnel were killed and that facilities and attack helicopters were destroyed (Iran International; Anadolu Agency). U.S. officials told Reuters that no American casualties had been reported from the Iranian strikes in Jordan and rejected claims of large U.S. losses. Jordan’s Armed Forces said 13 ballistic missiles entered Jordanian airspace, that air defenses destroyed 10, and that the remaining three fell in remote areas with no deaths or injuries reported. Exact camp coordinates were not published in these sources.

Why it matters

An IRGC claim against a U.S. Marine site on the Gulf of Aqaba, disputed by Washington and Amman on casualties and damage, shows Tehran framing retaliation well beyond the Persian Gulf even when independent confirmation of impacts is lacking.

Verification: Disputed

Evidence: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: US Base in Jordan targeted in retaliatory attack, IRGC says it struck US Marine camp in Jordan with ballistic missiles, Iran Claims It Killed 'Large Number' of American Personnel and Destroyed Military Installations In Latest Barrage of Attacks

Location near Aqaba / Gulf of Aqaba is consistently reported by Iranian and regional wires. IRGC casualty and destruction claims are unverified. U.S. officials (via Reuters) and Jordan Armed Forces reported no casualties; Jordan said most missiles were intercepted. No public coordinates for the camp itself.
