Multiple US military aircraft suffered damage in overnight strikes on Jordan air base, CBS says

Iran’s missile barrage damaged one A-10 and about eight F-15s, while Jordan said its air defenses intercepted 18 of 20 missiles.

  • Several American military aircraft sustained damage during an overnight Iranian missile attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, CBS News reported citing sources familiar with the matter.
  • President Donald Trump confirmed on Tuesday that American forces attacked five Iranian tankers in the Gulf, prompting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to launch retaliatory strikes on the base.
  • Jordanian armed forces intercepted 18 of 20 ballistic missiles, while American forces deployed more than 30 Patriot missiles; CBS News reported eight F-15 aircraft sustained minor damage and one A-10 Thunderbolt, known as the 'Warthog', suffered significant damage with one wing reportedly missing.
  • No American personnel were injured, and the F-15 aircraft were reportedly returned to service despite the Revolutionary Guards announcing they 'struck the American Al-Azraq base in Jordan with heavy missile strikes' as part of a 'punitive operation'.
  • President Donald Trump warned that additional action would follow recent strikes targeting Iranian maritime assets and oil transport networks, as video footage circulating online showed repeated explosions over the base during the attack.
