Iran launched missile strikes against the U.S. airbases King Hussein and Al-Azraq in Jordan, Fox News journalist Trey Yingst reported, citing sources. Jordanian state broadcaster Al-Mamlaka said air defenses intercepted eight Iranian missiles inside the kingdom's airspace, while Iran's Revolutionary Guard separately claimed it downed a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran reportedly launched missile strikes against two U.S. airbases in Jordan, King Hussein and Al-Azraq, according to Fox News journalist Trey Yingst, who cited unnamed sources.
Jordanian state broadcaster Al-Mamlaka, quoting military officials, said Jordanian air-defense systems intercepted and destroyed eight Iranian missiles inside the kingdom’s airspace. The bases are used by U.S. troops and aircraft, and any confirmed hit on them would represent a sharp escalation in Iran’s confrontation with American forces in the region.
Separately, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed additional successes in its latest operations. The Tasnim news agency reported that the IRGC shot down a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper surveillance and strike drone over the Strait of Hormuz and destroyed sites housing U.S. fighter jets at American bases in Jordan.
There was no immediate independent confirmation of the IRGC claims about the drone or the Jordanian fighter-jet sites. The reported events unfolded amid heightened tensions between Iran and U.S. forces across the Middle East.
