According to U.S. broadcaster CBS News on the 17th (local time), multiple U.S. government sources stated that Iran recently attacked at least two military bases inside Jordan, during which facilities housing U.S. troops were hit.


The governments of the United States and Jordan reported that there were no fatalities but did not reveal the number or condition of those injured. The U.S. military uses Jordanian military bases as a key hub for operations in the Middle East.


In retaliation for a U.S. airstrike on Iranian territory, Iran has stepped up its drone and missile attacks targeting Middle Eastern allies of the United States, including Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait.


The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran also claimed to have attacked U.S. military bases in Syria; however, it was reported that U.S. forces had already withdrawn from those bases earlier this year.



Mohsen Rezaee, a senior military advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader, warned in a state television interview that Iran would launch a full-scale offensive if U.S. attacks continued.
