Video Shows Iranian Missile Strike on Jordan Airbase Kills Two US Troops

By TrendingWire Newsroom

A video has captured the moment an Iranian missile struck Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti Airbase, killing two US service members. The footage, released by sources, shows the missile hitting the facility and causing an explosion. US officials confirmed the deaths, calling the attack a serious escalation in regional tensions. The airbase is used by US forces as part of operations against ISIS and for broader regional security. Iran has not commented on the strike. The attack occurs amid heightened hostilities between Iran and the US, including Iranian support for militant groups and US sanctions. This is one of the few direct Iranian attacks on US personnel since the 2020 killing of Qasem Soleimani. Jordan, a key US ally, has condemned the attack. The US military is reviewing its posture in the region. No group has claimed responsibility, but evidence points to Iranian-made missiles. The incident raises fears of a wider conflict. Investigations are ongoing to determine if it was a deliberate targeting or a miscalculation. The US has warned of consequences while urging de-escalation. The families of the victims have been notified.
