I can transcribe the visible text from this image.

The image is an Iranian/IRGC-aligned propaganda graphic (before/after satellite imagery, Quranic verse, emblem) claiming the destruction of housing for officers of 'the American terrorist army' at the 'Al-Azraq base' in Jordan. The underlying, verifiable event is real: on 17-18 July 2026, an Iranian ballistic-missile and drone attack struck Muwaffaq Salti Air Base at Azraq, Jordan - a Royal Jordanian Air Force base that hosts US forces - killing two US service members, leaving one missing (remains later found), and evacuating four others, per US Central Command (CENTCOM) and multiple reputable outlets. US officials (via the Wall Street Journal) confirmed the fatal missile hit prefabricated 'containerised housing units' where US troops lived and slept, corroborating the 'housing destroyed' element. The propagandistic framing ('American terrorist army', the emblem, the Quran 8:17 verse implying divine agency) is opinion/ideological presentation, not fact. Two specifics are overstated or unverified: (a) the base belongs to Jordan (US forces are hosted, it is not a US-owned base), and (b) the victims were not specifically 'officers' - the two identified fatalities were a First Lieutenant and a Private. The Quran 8:17 citation and its translation are accurate.

What checked out (5)

• A named air base at Azraq, Jordan (Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, a Royal Jordanian Air Force base) exists and hosts US forces/aircraft.
• An Iranian (IRGC) ballistic-missile and drone attack struck the base on the night of 17-18 July 2026.
• US Central Command confirmed two US service members were killed, one initially missing (remains later found), and four evacuated to Jordanian hospitals.
• The fatal missile struck on-base living/housing quarters ('containerised housing units') where US personnel lived and slept, per US officials cited by the Wall Street Journal and NASA FIRMS heat-source data indicating the living-quarters area.
• The Arabic text on the image is a correct rendering of Quran 8:17 and the offered translation ('And you did not throw when you threw, but it was Allah who threw') is accurate.

• That the destroyed housing was specifically for 'officers' - the two publicly identified fatalities were a 1st Lieutenant and a Private (enlisted); no source confirms an officers-only housing block was the target.
• The exact scale/extent of destruction depicted in the annotated satellite before/after imagery in the image cannot be independently verified from the image alone, though independent satellite imagery (Planet Labs) confirms damage.
• The specific measurement annotations and red/yellow markings on the image are unverified as to accuracy.

Confidence

High — Core claims corroborated by an official CENTCOM statement and numerous independent, dated outlets plus OSINT/satellite data. Tempered only by the unverified 'officers' specificity, the ownership-framing correction, and still-developing figures.
