Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched 12 ballistic missiles targeting the Al-Azraq airbase in Jordan, according to reports on June 11, 2026. The IRGC stated that the strikes hit the base’s control center and key facilities used by the United States military. The attack also reportedly targeted American F-35, F-15, and F-16 fighter jets stationed at the site.

Following the assault, Iran’s central military command announced the complete closure of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. The command warned that any vessel attempting to pass through the waterway would be treated as a target. The move came after recent US military actions, signaling a sharp escalation in regional hostilities.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a major global oil transit route, could have significant implications for international trade and energy markets if the situation continues to deteriorate.
