Iran says it has destroyed 20 U.S. military warehouses in Jordan; U.S. responds with continuous strikes

The U.S. military has again suffered significant casualties! On July 20, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran announced that we have destroyed 20 U.S. military supply depots located in the Al-Azraq region of Jordan, resulting in dozens of soldiers killed. Meanwhile, on the same day, the U.S. Central Command stated that it had successfully completed its ninth consecutive nighttime strike operation against Iran. The targeted locations included Iran’s military command centers, defense and coastal surveillance sites, missile and drone launch points, as well as communication networks.

The U.S. military has firmly declared that it will hold Iran accountable according to directives from the overall commander. In fact, between July 17 and 18, Iran launched attacks on the main facilities of a U.S. Air Force base in Jordan, including hangars, airfields, radar systems, and fighter jets, causing two U.S. military personnel to be killed. Then, early on the morning of July 20, Iran targeted U.S. logistical storage facilities and military aircraft at the southern Aqaba Airport—precisely aimed at disrupting U.S. supply lines and long-range reconnaissance airlift capabilities.

Evidently, in the first phase, Iran prioritized strikes on hardened airport targets, damaging runways, hangars, and radar installations, directly undermining frontline air combat capabilities. In the second phase, Iran shifted focus to targeting rear-area storage nodes, severing the supply chains for ammunition, fuel, and spare parts—proceeding with clear strategy and precision. Meanwhile, the U.S. aims to weaken Iran’s missile forces by disrupting their mobility, reconnaissance, and launch windows, thereby degrading Iran’s ability to organize long-range retaliatory operations. Clearly, what is troubling the U.S. military is Iran’s complete lack of willingness to compromise—this inevitably means the U.S. will pay an even higher price.
