IRGC releases photographic evidence
debunking CENTCOM’s claims of
"zero damage" in Jordan strike
July 30th, 7:08pm
(PressTV)
IRGC-released imagery reveals significant structural damage to a US
fighter jet maintenance hangar at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, directly
debunking CENTCOM’s claims of "zero impact."
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has released
photographic evidence directly contradicting recent
claims by the US Central Command (CENTCOM)
regarding the effectiveness of Iranian
retaliatory strikes.
The newly published images show clear impact damage to a major
maintenance and repair hangar for US fighter jets at the Muwaffaq
Salti Air Base, proving that Iranian precision munitions
successfully penetrated the base’s defenses.
The release comes in direct response to CENTCOM’s earlier
statement, which had asserted that all Iranian missiles
launched during the operation were intercepted by
US air defense systems and that no aircraft or
equipment within the base had sustained
any damage.
Initial imagery provided by the IRGC clearly depicts structural
damage to the roof and interior of the specialized hangar
used for servicing advanced US warplanes. The visual
evidence serves as a stark rebuttal to the Pentagon’s
attempt to downplay the severity of the strike.
In a message accompanying the photos, the IRGC stated, "It is
better to stop the intense censorship and provide accurate
data to the world so that people can judge for themselves
and see live what we mean when we say 'the aggressor
will be punished', and that this punishment happens ---
immediately."
"The region is no place for a child-killing army that so brutally
massacres innocent families in their sleep at midnight,"
the IRGC says.
Earlier, CENTCOM had rejected an IRGC statement that it has
destroyed three US F-35 stealth fighter jets and three other
aircraft during an Iranian attack on the base, claiming that
no US aircraft were destroyed or damaged in the recent
Iranian attacks, and that all missiles and drones were
intercepted or failed to reach their targets.
The publication of these images underscores a growing gap
between US military public relations narratives and the
reality on the ground.
While CENTCOM has consistently claimed a 100% interception rate
to maintain an image of invulnerability, the IRGC’s documentation
suggests that Iranian missile technology has successfully
bypassed layered defense networks, including Patriot
and THAAD systems, to strike high-value
strategic assets.
The Jordan base is a critical logistical node for US air operations
in the region, housing some of the most advanced fighter jets
in the US arsenal.
Damage to its maintenance infrastructure not only represents
a significant financial loss but also disrupts the operational
readiness of US forces deployed in West Asia.

Israeli troops ----- stage 'mutiny'
at notorious Sde Teiman base
July 30th, 6:59pm
(PressTV)
Dozens of Israeli soldiers from the Givati Brigade's Tzabar
Battalion have walked out of the Sde Teiman military
base without authorization, in what Israeli media
described as a rare act of "mutiny."
The incident unfolded on Thursday at a base that also houses
the Sde Teiman detention facility, which has come under
intense international scrutiny over allegations of
abuse against Palestinian detainees.
According to the Israeli newspaper Maariv, the soldiers
laid down their weapons before leaving the base after
commanders removed symbols tied to a longstanding
battalion tradition that "embodies the bond between
veteran and junior soldiers."
"A short time ago --- soldiers from a combat battalion
began leaving their base without their commanders'
authorization," an Israeli military spokesperson
said in a statement.
"The incident is being investigated and addressed by
commanders. This conduct --- is inconsistent with
what is expected of soldiers."
Military sources quoted by Maariv said the soldiers left their
weapons at the base before returning home. According to
the newspaper, military sources described the incident
as "the largest mutiny in the history of the army."
The mass walkout temporarily rendered the battalion combat
ineffective, with sources describing it as an unprecedented
act of indiscipline within the unit.
Videos circulating on social media appeared to
show soldiers chanting an obscene slogan
directed at their commanding officers.
In one of the videos, a soldier is heard telling his comrades
that the battalion could not function if its traditions were
undermined --- and its members treated with contempt.
"If they interfere with the battalion's traditions and spit in
our faces, then we're not interested in anything. I don't
think you can be a fighter like that. Do you think you
can be a fighter like that?" he says.
The walkout followed a decision by commanders to remove
symbols tied to a longstanding battalion tradition that
embodies the "bond between veteran and
junior soldiers."
The Israeli military said the battalion commander ordered their
removal because they had become associated with "irregular
incidents" linked to the veteran-junior tradition, referring to
the ''hazing'' of newer recruits.
"Many soldiers are affected by this through violence and humiliation.
Therefore, I decided to break wooden signs of Satan, the Angel of
Death, and more, signs that represent exactly these things," the
commander said.
The protesting soldiers rejected the explanation, insisting
the symbols were an integral part of the battalion's
identity and heritage.
"When you break these symbols, you're not just breaking a piece
of wood or a sign—you're breaking something from the spirit of
the fighters. After everything we've been through, the little
thing that gives us strength, pride and a smile has
been destroyed," they said.
Sde Teiman, an Israeli military facility in the Negev (Al-Naqab)
desert, has come under intense international scrutiny, after
reports by former detainees & human rights organizations,
documenting widespread abuse of Palestinian detainees,
including physical violence, medical neglect.....
and sexual abuse.

Iranian Army strikes key US base
in Bahrain ....in 26th phase of
Operation Thunder
July 30th, 6:01pm
(PressTV)
The Islamic Republic of Iran Army has successfully executed
the 26th phase of Operation Thunder, launching a precise
drone strike against the United States military’s Sheikh
Isa Air Base in Bahrain.
The operation, carried out by advanced destruction drones,
targeted critical infrastructure, including power generators,
navigation systems, and administrative support buildings
of the US military presence in the region.
According to a statement from the Army’s Public Relations
Department, the strike was a direct and justified act of
retaliation for the martyrdom of Brigadier General
Majid Kazemi, the valiant Su-24 pilot who was
killed in action while defending the Islamic
Republic against US-Zionist aggression.
"Despite the presence of multiple advanced defense systems and
heavy fortification, recent and ongoing attacks on US bases in
the region have inflicted significant damage on the equipment
and facilities of the US military, whose regional footprint -- is
defined by aggression & war crimes," the statement read.
The Sheikh Isa Air Base -- is considered one of the most sensitive
and strategically vital US military installations in the Persian Gulf.
It serves as a primary hub for US reconnaissance aircraft and
a major maintenance and logistics centre for helicopters and
drone components.
This latest strike is part of a sustained and escalating campaign by
Iran to expel the illegitimate US military presence from West Asia
and hold the aggressors accountable for their actions.
Iranian drones and missiles have repeatedly demonstrated their
ability to bypass layered US air defense networks, striking
logistics hubs, command centres, and radar installations.
These operations are conducted under the framework of Article 51
of the UN Charter, asserting Iran’s inherent right to self-defense
against foreign military aggression.

Retaliatory strikes destroy three
F-35 jets at US-run Jordan base:
IRGC
July 30th, 11:21am
(PressTV)
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said it launched a
ballistic missile strike on US-run Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in
Jordan's Azraq, destroying three US' F-35 fighter jets and
heavily damaging three others in retaliation for a US
airstrike that killed three members of a family
on Iran's Qeshm Island.
The IRGC's public relations office issued the statement
on Thursday, addressing the "honourable and
discerning people of Jordan."
It thanked Jordanians for their "sincere support and cooperation,"
particularly the "clear positions" taken by some Jordanian elites,
saying their stance had increased pressure on the United States.
The statement noted that the United States launched an airstrike
before dawn using "occupied bases" in Jordan after being
unable to confront Iran in direct war.
The IRGC said US forces targeted two residential homes in the Chah
Tangu neighbourhood of Qeshm Island with heavy bombs, killing a
father, a mother and one of their children while wounding two
other children. Two other children survived the attack and
were taken to hospital for treatment.
"In response to this crime and to help you liberate the Islamic land of
Jordan from the scourge of the American occupiers," the IRGC said,
"the Aerospace Force fighters - attacked the deployment ramp and
maintenance hangar of the enemy's American F-35 fighter jets at
Al-Azraq Air Base this morning with several ballistic missiles."
The statement said that the strike "completely destroyed three
F-35 aircraft and inflicted heavy damage on three others."
It also said..... several US officers as well as technical
and maintenance personnel were killed in the attack.
"The region is no place for a child-killing army that so brutally
massacres innocent families in their sleep at midnight,"
the statement said.
"Our struggle, alongside yours, will continue until the last
American occupier- --- is expelled from Islamic lands,"
it added.
The retaliation comes as the US has been targeting southern
Iranian provinces since earlier in July .....after violating the
terms of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.
Tehran has responded with repeated missile and drone attacks
targeting US-operated military facilities across the region
under Operation Nasr 2 and Operation Sa'eqeh
(Lightning!).

More than 2 million cross Iran’s borders
as Arbaeen pilgrimage... draws millions
July 30th, 10:36am
(PressTV)
More than two million Iranian pilgrims have safely crossed the
country's borders to attend the annual Arbaeen pilgrimage,
one of the most monumental religious congregations
throughout the world, in Iraq, a police
commander says.
General Mohammad Sharafi said on Thursday that a total
of 2.4 million people have registered for the pilgrimage.
Of that number, he added........ more than two million pilgrims have
already left the country's borders “in a safe and sound condition."
He noted that around 500,000 pilgrims have
also returned to Iran, after their pilgrimage.
Sharafi stressed that maintaining security remains the
police’s top responsibility during the pilgrimage.
“Throughout this period, the commuting of two million pilgrims
was carried out without any security problems,” Sharafi said.
Arbaeen marks the 40th day since the martyrdom anniversary
of Imam Hussain (AS), the third Shia Imam and grandson of
Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), and his loyal companions.
Every year, pilgrims descend on Karbala from all over the world
to mark the occasion, which bears remarkable significance
among them as witnessed by their taking long journeys
on foot towards the city ....out of religious zeal and
spiritual dedication.
More than 21 million people made the pilgrimage last year.
For over 13 centuries.... the city has been the spiritual epicentre
for the faithful, drawing monumental crowds to commemorate
the sacrifice and legacy of Imam Hussain (AS), reverently
remembered as the Master of Martyrs.
As in previous years, this year’s Arbaeen pilgrimage - stood as
a powerful reminder - of the resilience, devotion, and unity of
the faithful to honour the sacrifices made by Imam Hussain
(AS) and his companions.
The historic sacrifices saw the religious icon and his 72-strong
companions brave the tyrant of the time, Yazid ibn Muawiyah,
and his forces, ultimately meeting martyrdom in a battle ----
that has echoed ---- through centuries.

IRGC: Closure of Telegram account
reveals US panic over precise data
from region’s masses
July 29th, 9:26pm
(PressTV)
The Public Relations Department of the Islamic Revolution Guard
Corps (IRGC) has strongly condemned -- the abrupt closure of its
official Telegram account, describing the move as unmistakable
evidence of the front of arrogance’s terror ------- in the face of
accurate, people-sourced intelligence on US military
positions and movements across the region.
In the statement released on Wednesday, the IRGC Public Relations
emphasized that the action came after the brave and noble people
of regional countries, particularly dear brothers and sisters in
Jordan and Kuwait, demonstrated historical responsibility &
Islamic zeal by sending valuable and precise information
about the movements and bases of the US regime to
the announced IRGC Telegram channel.
"The arrogant enemies could not tolerate this situation, and
the growing bond among the peoples,” the statement read.
“Those who have always feared the transparency and awareness
of nations, by shutting down the IRGC Public Relations account,
once again showed that they have been gripped by panic over
the precise and valuable data of the dear Muslim Ummah ----
and the coordination among the freedom-loving nations
of the region.”
The IRGC Public Relations condemned the “improper and cowardly”
step as yet another desperate measure by the front of arrogance,
calling it a clear sign - of that camp’s decline and helplessness.
The statement said that closing a single user account can never
silence the voice of truth or break the steel will of the nations
of the region.
Looking ahead, the statement announced that a new, secure and
reliable portal for direct communication with freedom-loving
nations of the world will be introduced in the near future,
ensuring that the path of information exchange and
awareness-raising continues ---- even stronger
than before.
"We emphasize that the path of resistance and victory, with the
will of Almighty God and the efforts of the Islamic Ummah,
will continue without interruption,” the IRGC Public
Relations concluded.
The development follows earlier IRGC appeals to the peoples of
neighbouring countries to report the locations of US occupying
forces and their cover residences... reflecting the deepening
popular participation - in exposing the presence of the US
regime in the region.
The statement underscores the unbreakable solidarity between
the defenders of the Islamic Revolution and the broader Muslim
Ummah, in the ongoing struggle against imperialist aggression.
This latest act of censorship only highlights
the desperation of those who seek to
suppress the truth.
