— IRGC explains why it targeted US Marine Corps' Titen camp in Jordan
The camp sits at the northern tip of the Red Sea near Aqaba port and Israel's Eilat port, a short distance from Saudi Arabia's border, making it ideal for training US Marines, protecting maritime infrastructure, and staging land and sea operations.
US Navy sources have recorded FASTCENT rapid-response Marine drills at the camp.
After facing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a full disruption of military supplies in the Gulf, the Americans sought to deploy part of their forces to Titen camp, hoping Iran was either unaware or unable to strike it.
Tonight, the IRGC showed it has special intelligence on US movements and a broad capability to target and surprise the Americans.
