Iran strikes Muwaqqaq Al-Sultani base
On July 17, 2026, the Muwafaq Al-Salti Air Base in Jordan—where American troops are stationed—was subjected to a missile attack by Iran using ballistic missiles and drones. The attack resulted in the deaths of two American soldiers and injuries to others, with one soldier missing. This marks the first American casualty since the resumption of hostilities two weeks ago, bringing the total American death toll in the conflict to 16. The base was targeted during an attack that lasted from the night of July 17 to July 18, utilizing at least two missiles. A thermal source was detected from the residential area of the base via NASA satellites, and videos circulated showing the missile striking the ground. This attack follows a period of escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, with Iran retaliating against a series of American strikes in Iran over the past week, raising concerns about the potential expansion of the conflict in the region.
