Iran's military said it had targeted American C-17 transport aircraft and P-8 command-and-control aircraft in strikes near Aqaba, Jordan, as Tehran continued retaliatory attacks on US and allied targets across the region over the weekend.
Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said in a post on X, "American C-17 transport aircraft and P-8 command and control aircraft were targeted at Queen Alia International Airport in Aqaba, Jordan."

The Jordanian military said it had intercepted three Iranian missiles targeting the kingdom, with a fourth landing in an uninhabited area, while Israeli forces said they had also intercepted a projectile aimed at Aqaba.
The strikes on Jordan came as part of a broader wave of Iranian attacks on targeting Gulf allies of the US, following a ninth consecutive night of American strikes on Iranian military sites at the time. The US has since continued its bombing campaign, with CENTCOM confirming further strikes into a ninth consecutive night on Sunday.
