00:20An Iranian ballistic missile, or its separated warhead, struck a US-used military base in
00:27eastern Jordan after two air defense interceptors failed to stop it midair. The incident took place
00:34at Moawak Salty Air Base, also known as Alas Rock, a key facility hosting US forces and advanced
00:42missile defense systems. In the video, a bright object is seen descending rapidly through the
00:48night sky. Seconds later, two interceptor missiles launch upward in an attempt to destroy it.
00:55They miss. Moments later, a flash on the ground. Impact. This strike was part of Iran's early
01:03retaliation wave in the opening days of the 2026 conflict between late February and early March,
01:10and the target was highly strategic. The attack destroyed or severely damaged an ANTPY-2 radar
01:19system, a core component of the US THADD missile defense network, responsible for detecting and
01:27tracking incoming ballistic threats over long distances. Satellite imagery later confirmed the damage,
01:34showing burn marks, debris, and impact craters at the radar site. Air defenses did intercept several
01:42incoming missiles during the broader barrage, but this clip captures the moment one warhead slipped
01:48through, and that's what made it significant. Iran's objective was not random destruction. It was
01:55precision, hitting high-value military assets, degrading air defense capability, and increasing the cost of
02:03war for the United States and its allies. Similar strikes targeted US-linked sites across the region,
02:10including bases in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Despite the damage, no major troop casualties were officially
02:18confirmed from this specific strike, but the message was clear. Even advanced missile defense systems can
02:25fail, and in modern warfare, it only takes one missile getting through to change the equation.
