𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 🇺🇸 🇯🇴 🇮🇷 Iran’s Missile Strike on U.S. Base in Jordan Fails as 18 of 20 Missiles Are Intercepted
Iran’s ballistic missile attack on the U.S.-used Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan appears to have been largely ineffective, with Jordanian air defenses intercepting 18 of the 20 missiles launched toward the kingdom.
The Jordanian Armed Forces said the remaining two missiles fell in open, unpopulated areas, with no casualties reported from the attack.
A U.S. official said the Iranian strike was ineffective and that all American personnel at the base were accounted for. There was no immediate indication that U.S. military equipment or aircraft at the facility had been damaged.
The Muwaffaq Salti Air Base near Al Azraq is a strategically important Jordanian air facility that hosts U.S. forces and supports regional air operations.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed its missiles had struck facilities associated with U.S. fighter aircraft at the base and inflicted heavy damage. However, those claims have not been independently verified and are contradicted by Jordanian and U.S. assessments.
The attack came amid a rapidly escalating U.S.-Iran confrontation across the Middle East, following U.S. strikes on five Iranian oil tankers and subsequent Iranian attacks against U.S. and allied targets.
The latest exchange highlights the importance of Jordan’s integrated air-defense network as Iran continues to threaten U.S. military positions across the region.
The situation remains highly fluid. Further attacks remain possible, while the full assessment of any minor damage from missile debris is still ongoing.#LTC📈 $LTC
