Unverified footage circulating on Telegram claims to show the moment an Iranian missile struck an American base in Jordan, killing two soldiers with one missing and several wounded. The attack, which occurred days ago, was previously reported by The Zioneer with a higher death toll of three American soldiers and dozens wounded.
New footage circulating on Telegram claims to show the moment an Iranian missile struck a US base in Jordan, reporting two US soldiers killed, one missing, and several wounded. This is the latest in a series of unverified videos of the attack, which occurred Saturday. The US Army had earlier confirmed two deaths, but subsequent reports indicated three killed and dozens wounded; the new footage appears to revert to the earlier count with a missing soldier.
All prior updates from The Zioneer's thread were published on Saturday, July 18 at 01:34 Jerusalem. The thread began with reports of direct hits on the base (v17). The US Army then confirmed two soldiers killed (v18). Footage emerged from multiple sources, including a Channel 12 journalist (v22) and Shiite-affiliated channels (v15). Reports then raised the death toll to three with dozens wounded (v19), while another report noted the fate of a third soldier remained unknown (v16). The Wall Street Journal reported that manned and unmanned aircraft were struck (v23). The thread shows a rapid evolution of casualty figures and unverified footage.
As The Zioneer reported on July 18 in an article, casualties rose to three killed and dozens wounded. The broader context includes ongoing US-Iran tensions, with US strikes in Iran killing at least seven troops (Jul 15, 11:13 Jerusalem) and Iranian media publishing footage of a drone strike on the US Al-Azraq base in Jordan (Jul 16, 09:59 Jerusalem).
The new footage remains unverified, and the exact casualty count is unclear. Conflicting reports list two or three killed, and the status of the missing soldier has not been resolved. The video has not been independently confirmed by news organizations.
