Satellite images published by Yediot News reveal damage to sites housing American aircraft at Muwaffaq al-Sultani Air Base in Jordan, following a ballistic missile attack earlier today. The extent of the damage and the specific aircraft affected remain unconfirmed.
New satellite imagery published by Yediot News on Thursday evening reveals damage to sites housing American aircraft at Muwaffaq al-Sultani Air Base in Jordan, following a ballistic missile attack that struck the base earlier today. The images show impacts at locations where US aircraft were stationed, contradicting earlier claims by Jordanian authorities that all five missiles launched by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had been intercepted. The specific types of aircraft affected and the full extent of the damage remain unconfirmed.
The attack unfolded overnight, with reports emerging at 00:48 Jerusalem time. An Iranian source initially claimed that two of five missiles had directly hit the base. Jordan's military stated that its air defenses had intercepted all five, with no casualties or damage. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iranian strikes on the base, including on June 11 when visual evidence confirmed impacts at the same facility, and on July 22 when satellite imagery showed damage to a structure at King Faisal Air Base in southern Jordan. In a separate incident on July 29, The Zioneer reported that Iranian ballistic missiles struck the base, with reports of dozens of US soldiers wounded and helicopters damaged.
The Muwaffaq al-Sultani base has been a repeated target of ballistic missile strikes in recent weeks, as The Zioneer has reported. The facility serves as a key hub for US and coalition operations in the Middle East. The latest satellite imagery comes amid a broader escalation between the United States and Iran, including US strikes on IRGC targets in Iran overnight.
No official statement has been released by the Pentagon or Jordanian authorities regarding the new imagery. The specific aircraft types and the extent of damage remain unverified, and no casualty figures have been reported in connection with this latest strike.
