Iran says it struck US air base in Jordan, US military ends five hours of attacks

Iran said the attack was retaliation as U.S. forces completed a five-hour strike wave against military targets across the country, officials said.

  • The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted a U.S. air base in Jordan with ballistic missiles and drones, claiming the attack set fire to several fuel and ammunition depots.
  • Jordan's military intercepted and shot down four of the incoming Iranian missiles, reporting no immediate casualties or damage, and previously disputed Iran's claims of successful strikes on its base.
  • Alongside the strike, the IRGC issued a statement to the Jordanian public calling for the dismantling of U.S. military bases in the country while assuring them of Iran's goodwill.
  • The Iranian attack followed a five-hour wave of U.S. airstrikes by Central Command targeting Iranian coastal defenses, missile and drone sites, and maritime capabilities.
  • This intense U.S. operation marked the third consecutive night of American military strikes against Iranian targets ordered by President Donald Trump.
