Iranian missile strike hits Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, killing two US soldiers

Описание: Iranian ballistic missiles struck Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in eastern Jordan, a key military installation that hosts US forces, killing two US soldiers and leaving another missing, according to US officials.

Several other soldiers were also wounded in the attack.

The strike marks the deadliest attack on US forces since the latest round of fighting between the United States and Iran began, and prompted immediate US retaliatory strikes against Iranian military targets.

Muwaffaq Salti Air Base has been targeted multiple times in recent days as regional tensions continue to escalate.
