Several US military aircraft were reportedly damaged after Iran struck a major American-operated airbase in Jordan, as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to intensify across the Middle East.
Legacy media outlet CBS reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the incident, that the overnight attack targeted Muwaffaq Salti Air Base near Azraq, roughly 100 kilometres northeast of the Jordanian capital, Amman. The installation is an important base for US air operations in the region.
According to the report, an A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft sustained serious damage to one of its wings. Around eight F-15 fighter jets were also reportedly damaged, although their damage was described as ‘minor’ and the aircraft were subsequently returned to service. No American personnel were reported killed.
US forces are said to have launched more than 30 Patriot interceptor missiles in response to the Iranian barrage. Jordanian authorities said their forces intercepted 18 Iranian missiles, while another two landed in uninhabited areas without causing casualties.
US Central Command has not publicly confirmed that American aircraft were damaged in the attack.
CENTCOM has, however, rejected Iranian assertions that two US Navy destroyers were struck during the latest exchange. The US military has also claimed that American forces have destroyed ten Iranian crude-oil tankers since September 5, including five on Tuesday following an alleged Iranian ballistic-missile attack against a US warship.
The latest confrontation comes amid an increasingly dangerous dispute over access to the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategically important energy corridors. Before the current conflict, approximately one-fifth of global oil supplies passed through the waterway.
Washington has imposed restrictions on maritime traffic travelling to and from Iranian ports, while Tehran has introduced its own controls over vessels using the strait. The disruption, combined with Houthi missile and drone attacks against Saudi energy infrastructure, has contributed to Brent crude climbing above $100 a barrel as markets assess the possibility of further interruptions to oil supplies.
US President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that American forces would strike “a lot more” Iranian vessels if Tehran continued attacking US interests. Trump also accused Iran of attempting to prolong the conflict in the hope of affecting the US midterm elections, claiming Tehran wanted to improve the electoral prospects of Democrats opposed to the war.
Iran, meanwhile, has accused Washington of fueling instability throughout the region.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said that if the United States genuinely sought peace, it should bring an end to what he described as its “malign and destabilizing interventions in our region.”
Tehran has repeatedly warned neighbouring countries against allowing their territory or airspace to be used for American military operations against Iran. Iranian forces have targeted US assets across several regional states since February, including Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Jordan.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi defended those attacks last week, arguing that Iran could not reasonably be expected to refrain from responding when territory and airspace in Arab states were being used to facilitate US strikes against Iranian targets.

This IS “Tanker War” is becoming as ridiculous as the Mexican “Pastry War”.
Patriot interceptor missiles don’t work except by fluke
Jordanian authorities said their forces intercepted 18 Iranian missiles-I strenuously doubt it

Iran keeps on breaking the US’s toys and diminishing their already depleted missile reserves. Its a long game they are playing.
The global European elites and the USA cannot reverse these permanent changes and consequences:
– Iran’s full permanent control over the Strait of Hormuz
– the resulting permanent risk premium introduced into global energy markets (ie all fuel prices up)
– solid precedent for nations to exert sovereign control over their own strategic waterways
– China’s consolidation as the most powerful force in global oil markets
– China is now stronger despite the deliberate oil shock that the USA itself precipitated
– global oil demand has probably permanently peaked as a direct consequence of the chaos imposed by the USA in starting unnecessary wars
– the USA has successfully destabilized the whole world
– this accelerates the global energy transition from fossil fuels to electric and other forms?
– the USA has successfully become the biggest loser in the world.
Just as the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf stabilize after the expulsion of American and European chaos,….
the Red Sea also stabilizes after the expulsion of (American and European directed) Saudi chaos…. https://en.ypagency.net/404800
