Multiple independent Telegram sources reported on July 12, 2026, that Iranian forces conducted a strike on Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan, resulting in the destruction of a drone hangar. The reports, which remain unconfirmed by official Iranian or Jordanian authorities, cite satellite imagery as evidence of the destruction.
Several of the channels further alleged that the targeted hangar housed a U.S. MQ-4C Triton surveillance drone, valued at $240 million. According to these posts, which credit open-source intelligence (OSINT) analyst MenchOsint, low-resolution Sentinel-2 satellite imagery taken at 08:16 UTC on July 12 showed a destroyed hangar and visible smoke.
The same sources speculated that the MQ-4C, which they claim was last operational on July 11, is "very likely destroyed" if it does not take off within the next 48 hours. As of this reporting, there has been no official statement from the governments of Iran, Jordan, or the United States regarding the alleged incident.
