Describing the action as a “punitive operation against the aggressor," the IRGC claimed the strike targeted the Al-Azraq Air Base and its control centre. The statement was carried by the Tasnim news agency. The IRGC said it used 12 ballistic missiles in the attack and claimed that the strike destroyed the targeted facilities along with a “large number of fighter aircraft."
