Iran reportedly launched a ballistic missile attack against a US military base in Jordan, following American forces' strikes on Iranian launchers on Larak Island. The missile barrage, which occurred on August 31, 2023, may signify a significant escalation of the ongoing US-Iran conflict. Video footage reportedly shows multiple Patriot interceptors being launched over Jordan in response to the Iranian missile strike.
The targeted base, Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, is a crucial Jordanian air installation that accommodates US forces.

Earlier reports indicate that Jordanian air defenses neutralized five Iranian missiles and two drones within the past 24 hours.
