A large fire broke out at the US troop barracks at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan after overnight Iranian ballistic missile strikes, according to reports. Jordanian authorities reported intercepting incoming missiles, and no casualties or damage were confirmed at the time of the report.
A large fire broke out at the US troop barracks at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan following Iranian ballistic missile strikes overnight, according to an unverified report. The fire is the latest development in a sequence of incidents at the base since the initial missile strike.
The Zioneer reported earlier today (Sat 01:34 Jerusalem) that an Iranian ballistic missile had directly struck the base, based on unverified reports. That report followed a series of earlier updates: at 01:34, The Zioneer also published that CBS News, citing multiple US officials, said Iran had struck two Jordanian bases over the past week, wounding several American service members. The reporting evolved from a general CBS claim of wounded soldiers to a specific identification of the base and the Iranian source.
The Muwaffaq Salti base has been a recurring target in the ongoing multi-front escalation involving Iranian missile strikes. As The Zioneer has previously reported, the IRGC fired at least 11 solid-fuel missiles at the base in June, and footage later confirmed impacts at the site (see background coverage from June and July 2026).
The source of the fire report is a single unverified account, and no independent confirmation of damage or casualties has been published. The situation remains developing.
