Iran Missile Strike Damages US Aircraft at Jordan Air Base Amid Regional Tensions
Iran launched a missile attack on the US-run Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, damaging several American military aircraft including an A-10 Thunderbolt that lost a wing and about eight F-15 jets with light damage. Jordanian air defenses intercepted 18 of 20 missiles fired. The strike was reportedly in retaliation for US attacks on Iranian oil tankers. The US responded with over 30 Patriot missile launches. The incident escalates tensions in the region, affecting shipping routes near the Strait of Hormuz and pushing oil prices higher.
