Journalist Barak Ravid reported Tuesday night that Iran launched ballistic missiles at US military bases in Jordan, in retaliation for recent US strikes. The report, which emerged around 23:30 Jerusalem time, adds a prominent journalistic source to a story that has been rapidly developing over the past two hours.
The evening's events began at 21:27 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer Intelligence Desk first reported ballistic missile launches from the northwestern Iranian cities of Tabriz and Kermanshah. Within minutes, The Zioneer confirmed that launches were targeting American assets. At 21:27, Iran's Tasnim agency claimed a "decisive action" with launches toward Jordan and US bases, corroborated by the pro-Iranian Saberin News channel. A broader wave of projectiles toward American interests across the Middle East was reported at 21:27, and a new wave of missiles specifically toward US bases was reported at 22:41 Jerusalem. Through this sequence, source quality evolved from initial regional reports to Iranian state media claims, then to The Zioneer's own desk reporting, and now to an independent journalistic confirmation.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, this escalation follows months of direct kinetic exchanges between Washington and Tehran. In June and July 2026, Iran launched multiple ballistic missile and drone barrages at US bases in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia following US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz. Those attacks included a direct strike on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan on July 29.
No details on the number of missiles, locations of impact, casualties, or interception rates have been confirmed. Ravid's report has not yet been independently verified by official US or Iranian sources.
