Iran launched a missile attack targeting US forces in Jordan after a five-day ceasefire, according to a report published on July 29, 2026. The US military said it successfully intercepted several missiles aimed at its troops in Jordan. The source did not provide information on casualties, damage, the specific base involved, or the type of missiles used.

The surprise attack occurred while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was visiting the United States. The report identified US troops in Jordan as the target but did not specify the time of the attack or further operational details.

CENTCOM said US and Saudi forces struck Iran-backed armed groups in Iraq in retaliation for drone attacks carried out on Iran’s orders. Tehran had not commented on that matter at the time of the report. The report cited Al Jazeera as its source.
