Iran has launched a sustained campaign of ballistic missile and drone strikes against Jordanian military bases, and Israel is now warning publicly that the conflict could bleed further into the region.
The strikes are landing on bases that host US and coalition forces, and the casualties are American.
What is actually happening on the ground
Iran’s strikes have targeted two specific Jordanian installations: the Muwaffaq Salti air base and the Azraq base, both of which serve as operating locations for US and coalition military personnel.
Jordan’s air defense forces have been busy. On July 9, they intercepted 8 of 10 incoming projectiles. On July 13, they knocked down 4 missiles. On July 16, another 8 were intercepted.
