Iran Launches Missiles at US Base in Jordan

The missiles were all intercepted—but the intent to kill was made clear.

Barak Ravid: Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles toward a U.S. military base in Jordan on Tuesday in what U.S. Central Command described as an “attempted surprise attack.” All of the missiles were intercepted, CENTCOM said in a statement. This marks Iran’s first ballistic missile attack against a U.S. base in the region since President Trump paused strikes against Iran on Friday to give diplomacy another chance. The attack threatens to unravel the fragile pause and could force Trump to decide whether to resume military action…. CENTCOM said forces from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched the missiles at 5:45pm ET. “U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness,” the command said.
