Iran Missiles Strike US Bases in Jordan and Kuwait, Killing Troops

In late July 2026, powerful earthquakes struck Iran as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched devastating missile strikes on US military bases in Jordan and Kuwait. Videos circulating online appear to show the moment Iranian missiles hit a base in Jordan, killing two US service members and wounding dozens more. The IRGC also claimed its missiles damaged US aircraft at Jordan’s Aqaba Airport and warned that the Strait of Hormuz remains unsafe for shipping.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has not confirmed all details, but reports indicate helicopters were also struck. Iran has accused Jordanian intelligence of aiding the attacks, while Jordan has not commented. The strikes mark a major escalation in the ongoing conflict between Iran and the US, now in its ninth day, with additional attacks reported on a US base in Syria.
