Iran’s recent missile strikes on Jordanian bases have resulted in injuries to several American service members, according to reports from CBS. This event marks a significant escalation in the ongoing 2026 Iran war, which has seen increased hostilities following U.S. military actions near the Strait of Hormuz and a naval blockade on Iranian ports. The strikes on bases in Jordan, including Muwaffaq Salti and Prince Hassan Air Bases, indicate a shift in strategy as Iran targets sovereign territories hosting U.S. forces, rather than relying solely on proxy groups. This development comes amid a backdrop of daily U.S. airstrikes on Iranian targets and retaliatory Iranian actions across the Middle East.
