Unconfirmed reports indicate Iranian forces conducted a sustained campaign of missile and drone attacks against US military installations in Jordan over five days, killing at least two US soldiers, leaving one service member missing, and wounding dozens of personnel.
The strikes targeted multiple bases including Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Azraq and King Faisal Air Base, damaging multiple Black Hawk helicopters and key military facilities, according to sources citing The New York Times.
The deadliest attack occurred at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, killing two US soldiers and injuring four others. Earlier strikes wounded approximately 20 troops at the same base per Clash Report, while an attack on a residential complex at King Faisal Air Base injured at least five American soldiers per Tasnim News English.
US officials cited by The New York Times stated the attacks demonstrate Iran's growing capability to penetrate US and allied air defenses, with the pace and effectiveness of the strikes suggesting Iran retains substantial missile inventories and is becoming increasingly effective at overwhelming defensive systems.
Jordan has rapidly emerged as a focal point in the US-Iran conflict, with US forces shifted there from Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE ahead of the ongoing hostilities.
These reports remain unverified by official US or Iranian government sources.
