Did Iran fire ballistic missiles at a U.S. base in Jordan in September 2026?

Yes. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it fired ballistic missiles at a base used by U.S. forces near Al Azraq (also linked to Muwaffaq Salti Air Base) in eastern Jordan after the United States destroyed five Iranian oil tankers.

Jordan’s armed forces said air defenses intercepted 18 of 20 incoming ballistic missiles, with two falling in unpopulated areas and no casualties reported. A U.S. official said the strikes were ineffective and that all American personnel in Jordan were accounted for.
