Iranian Strike Damages US Aircraft at Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti Air Base

Multiple U.S. military aircraft were damaged in an overnight Iranian strike on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. CBS reporter Jennifer Jacobs said one A-10 Thunderbolt was struck and left with a missing wing, while roughly eight F-15s sustained minor damage and returned to service.

Why this matters. Direct damage to US Air Force jets on Jordanian soil marks an escalation of Iranian strikes beyond Gulf bases, raising pressure on Washington to retaliate against Iranian targets and widening the war's geographic footprint into Jordan.
