On July 17, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement saying that in response to the US military's attack on non-military targets in southern Iran the previous night, the IRGC launched ballistic missiles and drones in two phases, destroying several US refueling and fighter aircraft. The statement noted that the US military had attacked multiple non-military targets in the southern Iranian port city of Abbas, including bridges, residential areas, and a water pumping station, using military bases in Jordan on the night of the 16th. The statement did not specify the exact timing of the IRGC's counterattack. According to reports from several Iranian media outlets, including Tasnim News Agency, the US military's attacks on that day targeted infrastructure such as airports, bridges, and train stations in southern Iran, resulting in multiple casualties.
