U.S. Acknowledges Damage to Multiple Aircraft in Iranian Strike on Jordan Base
The United States has reportedly acknowledged that an Iranian missile attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan damaged eight F-15 fighter jets and an A-10 Thunderbolt, with the estimated value of the damaged aircraft exceeding $1 billion.
According to Fox News, citing U.S. officials, Iranian missiles reached areas where the aircraft were stationed, raising questions over Jordan’s earlier claims that it had intercepted most of the missiles involved in the attack.
The reported damage highlights the potential impact of Iran’s missile strikes on U.S. military assets in the region and could intensify scrutiny over the effectiveness of regional air-defense systems.
