Multiple US military aircraft were damaged in strikes on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, according to sources cited by CBS reporter Jennifer Jacobs. One A-10 Thunderbolt was hit and left without a wing, while roughly eight F-15s received light damage and were later returned to service.
The attack took place overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility. The strike followed the US destruction of five Iranian tankers in response to an Iranian attack on a US Navy warship.
US air defenses fired more than 30 Patriot missiles during the Iranian barrage, Jacobs reported. The Washington Examiner estimated that 20 missiles were fired at the base.
No US casualties were reported in the Iranian strike. The Washington Examiner noted that the F-15s cost around $100 million each, while an A-10 costs about $8-10 million.
The Jerusalem Post reported that Iranian state media later said several areas in Sirik, southern Iran, were hit by projectiles. The Washington Examiner added that Brent crude oil prices surpassed $100 a barrel for the first time since July amid the tensions.
