An overnight Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Jordan damaged multiple U.S. warplanes, CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs wrote on X.

“Multiple American military aircraft suffered damage in strikes overnight on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan,” Jacobs wrote, citing anonymous sources.

“One A-10 Thunderbolt, known as the Warthog, was struck and left with a missing wing. Roughly eight F-15s sustained light damage and were placed back into service.

“American forces in Jordan launched more than 30 Patriot missiles against the Iranian strikes.

“The overnight damage came after the US attacked five Iranian tankers in retaliation for Iran targeting a U.S. Navy warship. In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed they launched attacks at eight tankers and two warships, including the base in Jordan.”
