It Is Our Legal, Religious, and Logical Right to Target the American Base That Is the Origin of the Aggression Against Our Country

TEHRAN (Defapress) - The Public Relations Department of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps emphasized in a statement: 168 students who were martyred on the first day of this war in the attack of the child-killing American army, and these crimes continue, some of which are being carried out using American bases on Jordanian soil, and it is our legal, religious and logical right to target the aggressor of our country and the murderer of our children from wherever he attacks.

In Statement No. 45 of Operation Nasr 2, the Public Relations Department of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated:

Honorable and noble people of Jordan;

Your brothers in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in punishment of the child-killing American army and in response to the repeated aggressions against the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroyed a radar of the American THAAD missile defense system with crushing strikes on American bases.

A Patriot system and a C-RAM radar were also targeted and destroyed, and the fuel tanks of this American base were set on fire.

A large helicopter equipment warehouse and a helicopter maintenance and repair shed were also set on fire and destroyed.

Sometimes it is said that Iran has violated the independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of countries with its attacks, while such a judgment is completely incorrect. In our opinion, the independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of your government are completely respected.

What kind of place is an American base in a country? Where, without the control of your border guards, Americans and whoever they want, sometimes prisoners from other countries enter and leave, the US army guard establishes discipline there, not your army guard, the American judge rules over the crimes that occur there, not your judge, the American law prevails there, not your law, not just your military, even your defense minister does not have the right to enter there without the permission of the US guard.

So it is America that has violated your territorial integrity and sovereignty, not us. We are attacking lands occupied by the US army. An army that knows nothing but crime.

Yesterday, the grieving people of Minab buried the remains of the bodies of their student children, which were discovered while searching under the rubble, and joined their bodies in the graves. They were 168 students who were martyred on the first day of this war in the attack of the child-killing American army. These crimes continue, and some of them are carried out using American bases in Jordanian territory. It is our legal, religious, and logical right to target the aggressor of our country and the murderer of our children from wherever he attacks.

We thank you for your cooperation.
