00:20Iran has once again raised the stakes in the Middle East.
00:24In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing conflict, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, claims it has launched missile
00:35and drone strikes against a major U.S. military base in Jordan, the strategically important Muwafik Salty Air Base.
00:43Located in eastern Jordan, the base serves as a critical hub for American air operations and has hosted dozens of
00:52U.S. fighter jets, including F-35s and F-15s, amid rising tensions with Tehran.
00:59According to Iranian statements, the attacks targeted key military infrastructure, logistics facilities, aircraft operating zones, and command centers used by
01:10U.S. forces and their allies.
01:12Iranian media described the strike as a retaliation for American military actions against Iran and warned that more attacks could
01:22follow.
01:22The strike comes amid a wider regional confrontation that has already seen missiles and drones launched towards U.S. facilities
01:31across Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq.
01:35Iranian officials say these operations are part of a broader campaign to push back against what Tehran calls American aggression
01:44in the region.
01:45Reports indicate that Jordanian and U.S. air defense systems scrambled to intercept incoming threats.
01:52While many projectiles were reportedly shot down, previous attacks have caused damage to military infrastructure, including a key radar system
02:02at the Jordanian base.
02:03The latest attack follows renewed fighting after the reported downing of an Apache helicopter, an incident that triggered American strikes
02:12on Iranian military targets.
02:14Iran responded by launching retaliatory attacks on U.S. facilities across the Gulf region, including bases in Jordan.
02:24As missiles fly and tensions soar, fears are growing that the conflict could expand into a much wider regional war
02:32involving multiple countries and military alliances.
02:35For now, all eyes are on Jordan, where one of America's most important regional bases has become a frontline target
02:44in the escalating U.S.-Iran confrontation.
