Overnight satellite imagery published by security analyst Yair Goldblatt shows a hit on an aircraft hangar at the Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Jordan, used by U.S. forces. Goldblatt also cites a U.S. official who earlier stated that manned and unmanned aircraft were damaged in the Iranian strikes on the base.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt published satellite imagery at 12:01 Jerusalem on Sunday, showing a hit on an aircraft hangar at the Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Jordan. Goldblatt also cited a U.S. official who confirmed that both manned and unmanned aircraft were damaged in the Iranian strikes. The imagery, taken overnight, documents a visible impact on the hangar structure.
This report follows earlier developments on Sunday. At 09:34 Jerusalem, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a single source, that an F-15E Strike Eagle was destroyed and several other aircraft were damaged at the base. Shortly after, Iranian media released satellite imagery claiming precise hits on a fighter jet hangar, though the claim was not independently verified. Goldblatt's analysis now provides a second source of satellite evidence and an on-record U.S. official.
The Zioneer has been tracking evidence of damage at the base since the Iranian strikes. On June 11, footage showing two confirmed impacts at the base was published, contradicting earlier Jordanian claims of total interception. On June 13, separate satellite imagery analysis suggested an F-16 may have been hit. The cumulative evidence suggests the damage was more extensive than initially acknowledged.
The extent of damage to specific aircraft and the number of casualties remain unconfirmed. No independent verification of Goldblatt's imagery or the U.S. official's statement has been provided.
