Security analyst Yair Goldblatt said on X that senior Iranian officials have so far remained completely silent regarding the reported fire toward an American military base in Jordan. The observation follows earlier reports of Iranian missile activity targeting US installations in the kingdom.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt observed that senior Iranian officials have remained completely silent regarding the reported fire toward a US military base in Jordan. The statement, posted on X early Wednesday morning, follows a pattern of Iranian missile activity targeting American installations in the kingdom throughout July 2026.
Goldblatt has been closely tracking the Iran-US-Jordan dynamics. In a previous assessment published by The Zioneer on July 19, he described a "quite strange silence" after strikes reportedly tied to the deaths of US soldiers in Jordan. He has also noted instances where Jordan denied reports of incidents. More recently, Goldblatt retracted an earlier report of Iranian fire toward Azerbaijan, which he had cited from an Arabic-language security channel.
The current silence from Tehran comes amid a broader lull in direct Iranian launches toward the Gulf states, as reported by The Zioneer on July 25. It remains unclear whether the silence indicates internal deliberation, an operational pause, or a deliberate information blackout. No official statement from Iranian authorities has been published at the time of this report.
