Iran fired several ballistic missiles at a U.S. military base in Jordan, but the U.S. military successfully intercepted all of them, resulting in no casualties.
The U.S. Central Command announced on the afternoon of July 28 that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had launched multiple ballistic missiles targeting U.S. forces in the Middle East.
Central Command characterized the incident as a surprise attack attempt, stating, "All missiles were successfully intercepted," and added that U.S. forces are maintaining a high level of alert.
A U.S. official confirmed that the target was a military base in Jordan, but did not disclose the specific name of the base or the number of missiles launched.
This missile launch marks the first attack on a U.S. base since the U.S. halted airstrikes against Iran on July 23. Following 13 consecutive days of strikes on Iranian military facilities, the U.S. ceased further attacks, while Iran also stopped retaliatory strikes against U.S. bases in the region, leading to a five-day period of calm.
President Donald Trump has indicated that negotiations with Iran are ongoing and has mentioned the possibility of reaching an agreement. However, he warned that if negotiations fail, the U.S. could resort to stronger military actions. This latest attack introduces new variables into the ongoing negotiations and efforts to de-escalate tensions.
