Several US military aircraft were damaged in Iranian strikes on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan overnight, according to anonymous sources cited by CBS News. The attacks followed US military retaliation against five Iranian oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. An A-10 attack aircraft lost a wing in the strikes, while about eight F-15 fighter jets sustained light damage that allowed them to return to service.
No US personnel were reported killed in the strikes. US forces deployed over 30 Patriot interceptor missiles during the Iranian attack on the Jordanian base.
