TEHRAN – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) carried out coordinated missile and drone strikes on U.S. military facilities in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar on Saturday, as Washington confirmed two American troops were killed in the latest wave of retaliations.
The terrorist U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed in a statement on Saturday that two U.S. troops were killed in action in Jordan on July 17 during Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. 
A third terrorist member remains missing, while four others were medically evacuated to hospitals in Jordan and have since been discharged. Personnel evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty, CENTCOM said.
In its 29th official statement, the IRGC Public Relations Department said its Aerospace Force launched the 20th wave of “Nasr 2” operations in response to overnight U.S. attacks against Iran. The operation targeted aircraft shelters and a large aircraft parking ramp at the U.S. military facility in Azraq, eastern Jordan.
The IRGC said the strike resulted in the destruction of at least two U.S. fighter jets and three additional aircraft, causing significant damage to several others. Media reports said numerous F-16s, F-35s, and refueling aircraft were destroyed or severely damaged in the attack.
The statement addressed the people and armed forces of Jordan, calling on them to play a greater role in confronting terrorist U.S. military presence in the country. It warned that foreign troops operating in Muslim lands are legitimate targets under the religious opinion of Islamic scholars from different schools of thought, urging Jordanians to use “every available means” against U.S. military personnel.
The IRGC said its Ground Force targeted “a concentration point of invading forces” at the U.S. Army’s logistical support center in Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, during the 18th wave of Operation Nasr 2, stating that several personnel were killed. 
A drone strike destroyed the radar system at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, the statement said, adding that Iranian forces struck a weapons maintenance hangar and a drone shelter.
The IRGC Navy launched coordinated drone and missile strikes on the U.S. fleet’s fuel support pier at Al Ahmadi Port in Kuwait, a site where U.S. military aircraft were stationed at Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, and an intelligence data center in Bahrain identified as Batelco, according to separate statements.
The IRGC also destroyed a depot of American unmanned surface vessels (USVs) in Bahrain during the 17th wave of Operation Nasr-2, with many vessels consumed by fire. 
Bahrain’s main artificial intelligence center, used by the United States to assist attacks against Iranian territory, was destroyed in strikes involving ballistic missiles and more than a dozen drones.
The IRGC Aerospace Force struck the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar during the 15th wave of Operation Nasr-2, destroying a long-range radar system and several strategic aerial refueling tankers, according to Iranian media reports.
The IRGC warned that it would broaden its military response against American violations to target industrial, information
 technology, and artificial intelligence assets of companies with American shareholders across the region if Washington continued striking Iranian transportation infrastructure.
“The child-killing American regime should know that if it continues to strike bridges and transportation infrastructure, then, with God’s grace, from now on, we will destroy the most important industrial, information technology, and artificial intelligence assets of companies with American shareholders throughout the region, wherever they may be,” the statement said.
IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Majid Mousavi asserted that Tehran will continue its attacks until the U.S. ceases its military operations targeting Iran’s southern coast and the Strait of Hormuz.
The IRGC hit out at the U.S. for targeting civilian infrastructure inside Iran in an attempt to conceal battlefield setbacks. 
The statement noted that “no international body exists to stop the U.S. military’s atrocities,” and cited the Qur’anic principle: “Whoever transgresses against you, respond against him in the same measure as he transgressed against you.” 
The Army of the Islamic Republic said its naval forces launched a coast-to-sea cruise missile at a hostile vessel belonging to the “invading American enemy” in the northern Indian Ocean, and separately targeted a U.S.  military ammunition depot and fuel storage facilities at Camp al-Adiri and Ali al-Salem Airbase in Kuwait.
An Israeli writer and political analyst based in the UK described Iran’s retaliatory strikes as historically unprecedented, saying Washington is confronting “a real army” for the first time and acknowledging the Islamic Republic’s military precision and operational effectiveness.
In a post published on his X account on Saturday, Alon Mizrahi noted that no military force in history had inflicted such precise and effective strikes against American forces.
“No military in history has hit U.S. forces with the efficiency and precision of Iran’s armed forces,” he wrote.
Mizrahi said the U.S. has little experience confronting a conventional military power capable of sustained operations. “Americans don’t even know what it means to take on a proper military, and they are being destroyed,” he said.
The analyst also hailed Iran’s military strategy, describing it as combining advanced military capabilities with ideological commitment.
“Iran fights like a modern superpower with the spirit of a holy, native Islamic military,” he said, adding that “they are still using only a small part of their capabilities.”
Mizrahi further described the war as one of the most significant military confrontations in modern history, saying, “We are witnessing the grandest and most epic battle since the Red Army vanquished the Nazis in World War II.”
