Iranian forces launched strikes on US military bases in Jordan and Iraq, causing damage to American facilities and equipment. Satellite images showed that long-range American fighters were destroyed in an Iranian strike on a key Jordanian air base. The attacks also targeted US positions in Iraq as part of a coordinated military operation.
The strikes have depleted US interceptor stockpiles as American forces worked to defend against the incoming attacks. Sirens sounded across Bahrain as Iranian military action spread throughout the Gulf region. The scale of the Iranian assault represented a significant escalation in the conflict between the two countries.
