A US official told Fox News that 100% of American soldiers stationed in Jordan are present and accounted for, and that there were no US casualties in the recent Iranian attacks. The statement offers the first official confirmation of the status of US forces after the attacks.
A US official told Fox News on Wednesday morning that all American troops stationed in Jordan are present and accounted for, and that no US personnel were harmed in the recent Iranian attacks. The statement, reported by N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig, is the first official confirmation of the status of US forces following the strikes.
The confirmation comes hours after The Zioneer reported at 00:30 Jerusalem that Iranian forces were attacking the Prince Hassan Airbase in Jordan, a facility used by US forces. At that time, no details on casualties or damage were available. The new statement from the US official now provides the first official word on the safety of American personnel.
As The Zioneer has reported in earlier coverage of the broader Iran-US confrontation, US officials have consistently denied casualties from Iranian strikes on positions in Jordan. Previous bulletins cited similar denials from US Central Command and other officials after earlier rounds of strikes. The current confirmation aligns with those assessments.
No details were provided on damage to facilities or the specific nature of the Iranian attacks referenced. The statement does not address whether any US assets were hit, only that personnel are safe and fully present. The IRGC's earlier claims of destroying F-35 hangars at the Al-Azraq base remain unverified.
