Iranian strikes on the Jordan-based Muwaffaq Salti Air Base overnight caused damage to multiple American military aircraft, according to CBS reporter Jennifer Jacobs. A CBS spokesperson cited unnamed sources who confirmed the incident to national security coordinator Jim LaPorta.
One A-10 Thunderbolt, commonly referred to as the Warthog, suffered significant damage and had a wing missing following the attack. Additionally, approximately eight F-15 fighter jets sustained light damage and were subsequently returned to operational status.
In response to the strikes, American forces in Jordan deployed over 30 Patriot missiles in an effort to defend against further Iranian aggression, according to Ms. Jacobs.
