Israeli commentator Dr. Guy Bechor stated Wednesday morning that the Iranian regime bombed the main American military base in Jordan overnight. The strike follows earlier reports of Iranian ballistic missiles hitting US bases in Jordan, as The Zioneer reported earlier this morning. Bechor also noted that there has been no progress in negotiations and that Iran is unwilling to discuss the nuclear issue.
Israeli commentator Dr. Guy Bechor reported at 06:03 Jerusalem time on Wednesday that the Iranian regime bombed the main American military base in Jordan overnight, adding that there has been no progress in negotiations and that Iran is not yet willing to discuss the nuclear issue. The claim follows a series of reports earlier this morning and an official claim of responsibility by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The first reports emerged at 01:21 Jerusalem, when a US official confirmed to i24NEWS that at least four ballistic missiles were launched at a US base in Jordan, describing it as a "major attack." Minutes later, at 01:41, multiple reports converged: a pro-Iranian channel claimed 3–6 missiles with two impacts, the IRGC officially claimed responsibility for targeting a US air base and command center, and reports indicated a direct strike at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. At 02:40, security analyst Yair Goldblatt noted the "absolute silence" of Iranian officials regarding the reported fire. The earlier reports were initially unverified, but the IRGC's official claim and the US official confirmation provided a degree of corroboration, followed by Bechor's independent Israeli confirmation at 06:03.
The reported strike is part of an ongoing kinetic confrontation between Iran and the United States that has escalated since early June 2026. As The Zioneer reported, the IRGC previously claimed a 10-ballistic-missile strike on a US command center and the Al-Azraq base in Jordan on July 9, and multiple waves of strikes targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq on July 21–22. The current attack is the first direct Iranian missile strike on US forces since President Trump suspended US strikes on Iran last Friday, July 24.
The extent of damage at the targeted base and any US casualties remain unconfirmed. The status of US-Iran negotiations remains unclear, with no official statements from Washington or Tehran addressing the reported lack of progress. The IRGC's claim has not been independently verified through on-the-ground evidence.
