Several US fighter jets damaged in Iran attack on Jordan air base

Several US fighter jets were damaged in Iran's latest attack on an air base in Jordan, according to sources cited by CBS News.

Around eight F-15 fighter jets suffered minor damage in the attack on Muwaffaq Salti base, according to anonymous sources with insight.

In addition, an A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft, often called the “Warthog,” was hit. That plane is now reported to be missing a wing.

The Iranian attack on Wednesday night came after the United States attacked five Iranian tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. US forces in Jordan fired more than 30 Patriot missiles in an attempt to repel the Iranian attack, according to CBS News.

The US military has not commented on the matter.
