Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles toward a U.S. military base in Jordan early Wednesday, according to unverified reports. No details on impacts, casualties, or the specific base are available. The report follows earlier Iranian strikes on US bases in Jordan earlier today.
At 06:40 Jerusalem, the OSINT monitoring account OSINTdefender reported that Iran launched additional ballistic missiles toward a U.S. military base in Jordan. The report, which is unverified, does not specify whether the missiles struck their target, were intercepted, or caused casualties. The specific base is not named. This follows the earlier Iranian barrage that began around 01:21 Jerusalem Wednesday.
The thread on Wednesday's events evolved rapidly from initial unverified claims to official confirmation. At 01:21 Jerusalem, a U.S. official confirmed that Iran launched at least four ballistic missiles at a U.S. installation in Jordan, characterizing the barrage as a "major attack" (as The Zioneer reported). Minutes later, at 01:41 Jerusalem, multiple reports emerged: a pro-Iranian channel claimed 3–6 missiles were fired with two impacts in Jordan; an Israeli commentator stated the main U.S. base was struck; and the IRGC claimed responsibility for a strike on a U.S. air base and command center. Also at 01:41, a U.S. official confirmed the attack, and reports indicated the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base was hit. The new report at 06:40 suggests a possible second wave of launches.
As The Zioneer reported, this strike is the first direct Iranian kinetic action against American forces since President Donald Trump ordered the suspension of U.S. strikes on Iranian targets last Friday. The escalation comes after a period of relative calm in the region.
The new report remains unverified and based on a single OSINT source. No official confirmation has been issued by the U.S. military, Jordanian authorities, or Iranian state media. It is unclear whether the reported launches are a continuation of the earlier barrage or a separate attack.
