Iran fires missiles at US forces in Jordan, ending brief lull in attacks

Washington Examiner · back to the audit

Iran fired missiles at a base housing U.S. forces in Jordan after a pause in attacks that began Friday, signaling the renewal of hostilities.

"At 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted," U.S. Central Command said in a statement.

"U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness."

An Iranian missile attack against U.S. forces in Jordan on July 17 killed three U.S. soldiers, the first fatalities from direct Iranian fire since the opening days of the war.
