Air-raid sirens sounded across Amman as Jordan confronted Iranian missiles entering its airspace for a fourth consecutive day. The Jordanian Armed Forces said four projectiles were detected in the latest attack. Three were intercepted and destroyed, while the fourth fell in a remote part of southern Jordan, causing no reported casualties or material damage. The alert followed a warning from the US Embassy urging American citizens to seek overhead protection and remain indoors. Jordan says it has intercepted repeated missile waves since July 16 as Tehran continues targeting the US-used Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Azraq. Iran insists its campaign is directed at American military facilities rather than Jordan’s population. But with US forces operating inside the kingdom, the expanding confrontation is bringing repeated sirens, emergency warnings and the danger of falling missiles or interceptor debris ever closer to Jordanian cities. Watch.
Iran has intensified its military campaign against U.S. forces and regional allies, launching waves of missiles and drones across Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. These attacks have targeted military bases, aircraft hangars, and critical civilian infrastructure, resulting in U.S. and Iranian casualties and causing significant damage to energy and security facilities in the Gulf.

Air raid sirens are sounding across Amman as Jordan faces yet another wave of Iranian missiles,
the fourth consecutive day in which the kingdom has reported projectiles entering its airspace.
The Jordanian armed forces say four missiles were detected in the latest attack,
three were intercepted and destroyed, while the fourth fell in a remote area of southern Jordan.
Authorities reported no casualties or material damage. The alarms followed a warning from the
U.S. Embassy, which urged American citizens to seek overhead protection, remain indoors,
and monitor local announcements amid indications of a possible aerial attack.
Jordanian forces have been confronting repeated missile waves.
Official figures show eight Iranian missiles were intercepted on July 16, three more on July 17,
and ten on July 18, all reportedly without casualties or damage.
Tehran says its campaign is aimed at American military facilities, not the Jordanian population.
Iran has repeatedly targeted the Mu'afak Salty Air Base in Azraq, which hosts U.S. forces and
aircraft involved in regional operations. Jordan insists it will not allow its territory
or airspace to become a battlefield for other powers. But as U.S. forces continue operating
from bases inside the kingdom, the expanding confrontation between Washington and Tehran
is bringing the war ever closer to Jordanian cities, triggering repeated sirens, emergency
warnings, and the constant risk of falling missiles or interceptor debris.
Iran may have punched through American air defenses in Jordan, and newly released
satellite imagery appears to show a military hangar left in ruins after Tehran's missile assault.
The images, published by Iran's Fars News Agency, show extensive damage to a structure at a U.S.-linked
air base, with the roof apparently destroyed and debris scattered across the adjoining aircraft
apron. Fars identified the building as a fighter jet preparation hangar used for arming, refueling,
and servicing American combat aircraft before flight. Independent satellite analysis confirms
that a hangar was destroyed, alongside ground scarring and apparent impact marks. However,
the available imagery does not conclusively establish the building's precise function
or whether aircraft were inside when it was struck.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says its missile and drone operation
targeted aircraft shelters and a large parking ramp used by U.S. forces in Jordan.
The IRGC also claimed to have killed American troops in Jordan, which was later confirmed by
the U.S. The strike killed two U.S. service members, injured 29 others, while one trooper
was still missing. The video of the deadly attack also went viral on social media. Meanwhile, IRGC
has also claimed that American fighter jets and other military aircraft were destroyed or damaged,
claims that Washington and Amman had not publicly confirmed. The visible destruction alone carries
strategic weight. A successful strike on an aircraft support facility would demonstrate
Iran's ability to reach sensitive U.S.-linked military infrastructure,
despite the network of Western air defense systems deployed across the region.
The satellite images are now fueling fresh questions over the vulnerability of Washington's
forward bases and whether official accounts have revealed the full extent of the damage
inflicted by Iran's expanding retaliatory campaign. The battlefield is widening.
Iran has dramatically intensified its attacks on U.S. military positions across the Middle East,
as the latest round of fighting with Washington spirals into a dangerous new phase.
Iran now claims it struck two key American military bases in Kuwait, describing the
action as the 16th phase of Operation Thunderbolt. According to Iran's powerful
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC, waves of kamikaze drones targeted Camp al-Adira and
Ali al-Salem Air Base. Iran claims it successfully hit both installations. Camp al-Adira is reportedly
a major ammunition depot supporting U.S. military operations and lies just 104 kilometers from Iran's
border. Ali al-Salem Air Base, meanwhile, serves as one of the U.S. military's main air transport
hubs in the region and hosts Patriot missile defense radars and other critical air defense
systems. In a statement carried by Iran's state broadcaster IRIB, the Iranian military claimed
its destructive drones struck an ammunition depot at Camp al-Adira, along with Patriot systems
and air defense radars at Ali al-Salem. Iran said the attacks were carried out as part of the latest
phase of Operation Thunderbolt. But the strikes did not stop at military targets. Kuwait has
accused Iran of attacking critical civilian infrastructure, including a power generation
and water desalination plant, as well as a major oil facility. According to Kuwait's state oil
company, the attack left several people injured and caused significant material damage to one of
its vital energy sites. The country's defense ministry described the damage to oil and electricity
facilities as severe. Kuwait's foreign ministry condemned the attacks, accusing Iran of deliberately
targeting vital civilian infrastructure and describing the strikes as part of a systematic
and aggressive approach. Meanwhile, al-Jazeera reported towering plumes of smoke rising over
parts of Kuwait as authorities said the strikes in Mangath damaged a power generation and water
desalination plant, prompting officials to urge residents to conserve electricity whenever
possible. As the attacks intensified, Kuwait temporarily closed its airspace. Kuwait Airways
rescheduled most commercial flights following the missile and drone strikes, with Iranian
drones striking deeper into the region, American military facilities under renewed attack, and Gulf
nations scrambling to protect both military and civilian infrastructure. The confrontation
between Washington and Iran is entering an increasingly volatile and unpredictable chapter.
Fresh visuals circulating online appear to show flames engulfing Kuwait's Academy for Security
Sciences after what Iranian media describe as a new wave of ballistic missile and drone strikes.
If confirmed, the attack would mark one of the most significant strikes inside Kuwait
since the latest phase of the Iran-U.S. confrontation began. According to Iran's
Tasnim news agency, Iranian strikes hit Kuwait's Saad al-Abdallah Academy for Security Sciences,
causing what it described as significant damage to the complex.
Videos circulating on social media appear to show large fires burning inside the academy
following the reported attack. Those videos have not been independently verified.
The Academy for Security Sciences is an official Kuwaiti government institution
responsible for training police officers and internal security personnel. Iranian media
further claimed that ballistic missiles struck the academy directly, causing extensive damage
inside the training complex. The reported strike comes amid Tehran's broader military campaign,
targeting what it describes as countries supporting ongoing U.S. operations against Iran.
Neither the Kuwaiti government nor the United States has publicly confirmed the extent of the
reported damage. The reported attack follows days of escalating exchanges between Iran and
the United States across the Gulf, with missile launches, drone strikes, and military operations
stretching across multiple countries.
A growing number of American troops have now been caught in the expanding conflict,
with multiple U.S. service members reportedly injured after Iranian attacks
targeted military bases in Jordan. As both sides continue exchanging strikes,
the human cost of the confrontation is mounting on both sides of the region.
According to CBS News, citing multiple U.S. officials speaking on condition of anonymity,
Iran struck at least two military installations in Jordan earlier this week.
Several American service members were injured after one of the facilities came under attack.
The official said there have been no reported fatalities among either U.S.
or Jordanian personnel, although the extent of the injuries remains unclear.
Jordan hosts several military installations frequently used by U.S. forces,
including American warplanes operating across the Middle East.
The Pentagon has not yet publicly commented on the reported injuries.
The latest attacks come as Iran claims it has expanded military operations against
American positions across the region in response to continued U.S. strikes.
The conflict has also taken a growing toll on U.S. forces beyond the battlefield.
The U.S. military's official death toll has now risen to 14
as a Navy pilot was killed in a crash over the Arabian Sea earlier this month.
According to available figures, more than 400 American service members have reportedly been
wounded since the conflict began. Inside Iran, the casualties continue to climb as well.
Iranian Health Ministry spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour said that between June 27 and July 18,
U.S. strikes killed at least 50 people and injured more than 500 others. Among the dead,
Iranian officials say, were five women and two children,
while dozens of women and children were also wounded. 37 people remain hospitalized.
The latest figures come as the United States completed a seventh consecutive night of strikes,
with most of the operations focused on southern Iran. Washington says the campaign is aimed at
degrading Iranian military capabilities, while Tehran has vowed continued retaliation
against U.S. forces and regional military infrastructure. With American troops now
reportedly injured inside Jordan, casualties mounting in Iran, and military operations
continuing across multiple countries, the conflict is showing few signs of easing.
The situation remains fluid, with both Washington and Tehran
continuing to trade strikes as regional tensions deepen.
Kuwait has temporarily suspended operations at Kuwait International Airport after the latest
wave of Iranian strikes, with Kuwait Airways informing passengers that all takeoffs and
landings have been halted until further notice. Earlier, the national carrier had rescheduled
the majority of flights due to aerial volatility. Kuwait is now on the front line of the U.S.-Iran
conflict. What was once considered a relatively safe Gulf state has suddenly found itself under
heavy Iranian fire. In the past 24 hours, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
claims that it has unleashed one of its biggest waves of attacks yet, targeting military bases,
energy infrastructure, and communication hubs across Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain.
This marks another dangerous expansion of a conflict
that is no longer confined to just Iran and the United States.
The IRGC says its Navy launched a coordinated barrage of drones and missiles
targeting the U.S. Navy's fuel support pier at Kuwait's Al Ahmadi port, along with what it
described as a concentration of enemy military aircraft at Bahrain's Sheikh Issa Air Base.
The attacks did not stop there. Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy
confirmed that a fire broke out at one of the components of a power generation
and water desalination plant. According to the ministry, emergency protocols were activated
immediately, several generating units were disconnected as a precaution, and officials
are working around the clock to ensure the country's electricity and water supplies remain
stable. Meanwhile, the IRGC has also claimed that it struck the U.S. Army Arifjan Ground Forces
Support Center in Kuwait during the 18th wave of Operation Nasser 2, alleging that several
American troops were killed. The group further claimed it destroyed a U.S. communications and
signaling center in Kuwait, hit Bahrain's Batelco Intelligence Data Center, and continues to
maintain full operational control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. It's
important to note that several of these battlefield claims, particularly those regarding casualties
and the extent of damage, have not been independently verified. As the conflict intensifies,
competing claims from both sides continue to emerge, making independent confirmation difficult.
