An Iranian ballistic missile has directly struck the Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Jordan, according to unverified reports. No details on casualties or damage are yet available.
Unverified reports as of 04:07 Jerusalem identify the target of a reported Iranian missile strike as the Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Jordan, stating that a ballistic missile directly struck the facility. This development follows a sequence of reports that began at 01:34 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer first reported that two Iranian missiles had hit a US base in Jordan, after CBS News, citing US officials, confirmed that several American service members had been wounded in missile attacks on Jordan over the past week and that Iran was responsible for strikes on two bases.
The story's timeline shows a rapid evolution of information. At 01:34 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published three updates: a CBS report of wounded US soldiers, an attribution of the attacks to Iran, and a report of two missiles striking a US base. At 02:32 Jerusalem, a video circulated claiming to show Iranian missiles hitting the Muwaffaq al-Salti base, alleging that US air defense systems failed. That footage has not been independently verified. The current report, at 04:07, is the first to specify the base and claim a direct hit by a ballistic missile.
The Zioneer has previously reported on a series of Iranian missile attacks on Jordan. On Fri Jul 17, 03:38 Jerusalem, reports indicated Iranian ballistic missiles were falling in Jordan as part of an ongoing barrage. On Jul 9, 10 ballistic missiles were reported fired at a base in Jordan. The Muwaffaq al-Salti base has been a recurring subject of unverified claims, including the video at 02:32 Jerusalem and an AI-generated clip published on Jun 12.
As of 04:07 Jerusalem, the report remains unconfirmed by Jordanian or US authorities. No details on casualties or damage are available. The footage and specific impact details have not been independently verified, and the possibility of disinformation, including AI-generated content, cannot be ruled out — as The Zioneer has documented.
