Can ionised ships return fire?

Question

In Star Wars X-Wing if a ship has an ionising token can it shoot?

For example:

The TIE hasn't fired yet but it's been ionised. Is it still allowed to return fire?

Considering what happens in Star Wars shows and books when a ship is hit by an ion weapon, it's not surprising that people wonder if ionized ships can perform attacks. It's helpful to remember in X-Wing Miniatures, you don't do anything that the rules or cards don't specifically tell you that you can do. (That solves another common misunderstanding where people think ships normally take damage when they overlap other ships.) — Firefeather, Dec 1 '16 at 19:18

Ion Token reference card

According to the Ion Token reference card, the TIE Fighter would be able to return fire, as you are in the Combat Phase.
