Iran Launches Ballistic Missile Strike on U.S. Military Base in Jordan
Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles toward a U.S. military base in Jordan on July 28, 2026, an act described by U.S. Central Command as an 'attempted surprise attack.' All missiles were successfully intercepted by air defense systems, and no American casualties were reported. The escalation follows a period of heightened tensions in the region and coincides with stalled U.S.-Iran negotiations regarding control of the Strait of Hormuz.
