An Iranian attack on a United States military facility in Jordan has reportedly resulted in fires at the base, with flames seen coming from buildings following the strike.
Footage circulating in connection with the incident appears to show flames and fire emerging from structures at the military facility, amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States across the Middle East.
Iran has carried out missile and drone attacks against US and allied military positions in the region during the ongoing conflict. Recent reports have also documented Iranian strikes targeting US-linked facilities in Jordan.
One of the key facilities involved is Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, which hosts American military personnel and has been associated with US air-defence operations in the region. Reports in recent weeks have said Iranian missiles and drones targeted the base, with US officials confirming casualties following an attack in July.
The latest footage shows flames visible around buildings at the site, although the exact location and circumstances depicted in the video should be treated with caution unless independently verified.
The attacks come amid a broader escalation between Washington and Tehran, with both sides exchanging missile strikes and other attacks. US forces have operated from several bases across the Middle East, making American military facilities in the region potential targets during the conflict.
Jordan has also found itself increasingly exposed to the conflict because of its strategic location and its cooperation with the United States. Iranian projectiles have previously entered Jordanian airspace, while Jordanian and American forces have worked to intercept incoming threats.
The reported attack highlights the growing risks facing US personnel and military infrastructure in the region as the conflict continues.
It was not immediately clear from the footage alone how extensive the damage to the buildings was or whether the flames resulted from a direct missile impact. Details regarding casualties and the full extent of the damage would require confirmation from US, Jordanian or Iranian authorities.
The incident is likely to further intensify concerns about the possibility of the conflict spreading across the Middle East, particularly as military facilities in countries hosting US forces come under increasing pressure.
