Nitzan Shapira, a security analyst, said this is the first Iranian missile attack against a US base in the region since President Trump suspended strikes on Iran last Friday. Meanwhile, air defense systems in Erbil, northern Iraq, are reportedly intercepting Iranian drones. The development follows a ballistic missile attack on a US base in Jordan earlier this hour, as The Zioneer reported.
The Wednesday 01:41 Jerusalem batch confirms a multi-pronged Iranian attack on US military assets in the region, marking the first such direct strike since President Trump ordered a halt to US strikes on Iran last Friday.
Security analyst Nitzan Shapira described the event as the first Iranian missile attack against a US base in the region since the suspension. Air defense systems in Erbil, northern Iraq, are reportedly intercepting Iranian drones, according to reports cited by Yair Goldblatt, a security analyst, on X.
The attack follows a ballistic missile barrage on a US base in Jordan, which The Zioneer reported at 01:21 Jerusalem. At 01:37, Goldblatt noted that Iran had broken its 'silence for silence' policy by targeting US assets for the first time since the suspension.
The Zioneer's archive shows that Iran and the US have been locked in direct kinetic conflict since early July 2026, after the collapse of the 'Islamabad' memorandum. The US suspended strikes on Friday, but Tehran appears to have resumed its offensive.
The full extent of the attack, including damage assessments and potential US response, remains unconfirmed.
