According to the Wall Street Journal, both manned and unmanned aircraft were targeted during Iran's attack on Jordan.

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that Iran's attack on Jordan targeted both manned and unmanned aircraft, with a single source telling the newspaper that an F-15E Strike Eagle was destroyed at Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base and several other aircraft damaged. The report is based on a single unnamed source and has not been independently verified. If confirmed, it would mark a significant loss of US airpower in a direct Iranian strike on a US-allied country. The attack on Jordan, which Iran launched earlier, has been the subject of conflicting claims, with previous unverified reports suggesting other US aircraft may have been hit. The Pentagon has not commented on the claim.
