American sources confirm to The Zioneer that Iran launched several ballistic missiles at US bases in Jordan early Wednesday, the first such attack since President Trump ordered a halt to US strikes last Friday.

American sources confirmed to The Zioneer that Iran launched several ballistic missiles at US bases in Jordan early Wednesday morning, the first such direct attack on American targets since President Donald Trump ordered a halt to US strikes against Iran last Friday.
The confirmation came after a rapid sequence of reports. At 01:15 Jerusalem, Axios first reported the launch. Shortly after, a US official told i24NEWS that at least four ballistic missiles were fired at a US military base in Jordan, describing it as a "major attack." Also at 01:15, Barak Ravid (N12) reported that this was the first Iranian missile attack on a US base in the region since Trump suspended strikes on Friday. The Zioneer compiled these reports at 01:21 Jerusalem. The new American sources now confirm the attack, indicating multiple missiles were fired at bases (plural) in Jordan, though specific locations, interceptions, and damage remain unconfirmed.
The attack marks the first Iranian kinetic response since Friday's suspension of US strikes. As The Zioneer reported on Jun 11, 2026, Iran launched a wave of ballistic missiles targeting US bases across the Middle East, and on Jul 12, 2026, Iran launched about 10 ballistic missiles at US targets in Jordan and Kuwait. The confrontation has continued with multiple rounds of strikes and counterstrikes, including a coordinated wave of missiles and drones reported on Jul 22, 2026.
It remains unclear whether any of the missiles were intercepted, what damage was caused, or if there were casualties. No official statement from Jordan or the US military has been released.
