Iran Fires Missiles At US Base In Jordan

Iran Fires Missiles At US Base In Jordan

Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles at a US military base in Jordan on Tuesday, US Central Command said, the first such strike since President Trump paused American operations against Iran for diplomacy. Centcom said air defences intercepted every missile, with no casualties or damage reported. Centcom called the launch an attempted surprise attack, and the wider pause in US-Iran hostilities otherwise remains in place.
