Iran launched several ballistic missiles at a U.S. military base in Jordan, all of which were intercepted by U.S. forces.
The U.S. Central Command reported that at approximately 5:45 p.m. local time on July 28, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fired multiple ballistic missiles targeting U.S. troops in the Middle East.
Central Command stated, "All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted," adding that U.S. forces are maintaining a high level of alert.
The exact location of the attacked base has not been officially disclosed. However, Barak Ravid, a reporter for Axios, cited U.S. officials indicating that the target was a U.S. base in Jordan.
On the same day, U.S. and Saudi Arabian fighter jets conducted airstrikes on several logistics and weapon facilities belonging to pro-Iran militias in eastern Iraq.
Central Command noted that these airstrikes were a response to over 30 drone attacks targeting U.S. and Saudi energy facilities in the past 72 hours, which the U.S. claims were directed by the IRGC.
The Saudi Ministry of Defense also reported that drones launched from Iraq attacked oil facilities in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia, attributing the assaults to pro-Iran militias operating in Iraq.
Iran has denied any involvement in the attacks on Saudi oil facilities. According to CNN, an Iranian military official stated to state broadcaster IRIB, "The projectiles launched from other countries toward Saudi Arabia have no connection to Iran."
