Iran is attacking US forces in Jordan, Fox News reports, citing a US source

  • On Sunday, Iran fired ballistic missiles at American forces stationed in Jordan, Fox News reporter Trey Yingst reported. Nearly all incoming missiles were intercepted with no significant impact reported.
  • These strikes followed an earlier American operation on Sunday targeting two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps rocket launchers on Larak Island after units were spotted preparing to launch sea mines toward the Strait.
  • While officials reported nearly all missiles "have been intercepted at this point," the Revolutionary Guards claimed the strikes destroyed maintenance and fighter deployment infrastructure at two American bases in Jordan.
  • Tehran vowed "response and punishment" for those responsible for the Larak Island attack, according to state broadcaster IRIB. The Revolutionary Guards alleged the initial American strike left several soldiers and civilians dead or wounded.
  • This escalation follows a war that began on February 28, 2026, which has killed 18 American service members. Hostilities continue to disrupt the Strait, once a major corridor for roughly a fifth of global oil shipments.
