Reports indicate that an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) originating from Iran was suspected of striking the troop accommodation area at Muwaffaq Al Salti Air Base in Jordan, where U.S. forces are stationed. Preliminary reports suggest the impact affected the housing area for military personnel.
It was noted that the base’s defensive structures are designed primarily to mitigate shrapnel and fire damage, rather than withstand a direct hit from a ballistic missile. As of the latest information, there has been no official confirmation regarding the number of casualties or the extent of the damage, though concerns remain regarding potential losses among American troops. Separately, Iran has continued to target infrastructure in the region, striking a power and water desalination plant in Kuwait for the second consecutive day, resulting in a reported fire.
This attack follows a similar incident at a water facility the day prior. Authorities have stressed the critical nature of these plants, as Kuwait sources approximately 90 percent of its potable water through seawater desalination. These actions are viewed as part of an ongoing Iranian campaign directed against U.S.
bases and key infrastructure across the region, including facilities such as Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. While the situation involves multiple points of concern, American and regional authorities have not yet released an official assessment detailing the full consequences of these recent attacks.
