Iran Hits US Forces in Jordan, Trump Vows Strong Retaliation
US President Donald Trump has vowed to take strong action against Iran following a missile attack on American forces stationed in Jordan. The incident occurred on July 28, 2026, with multiple ballistic missiles fired from Iranian territory toward US positions in Jordan.
The targeted base serves as a critical node in American military operations across the Middle East and is used by US Central Command (CENTCOM).
Patriot missile defense systems intercepted all incoming projectiles, preventing any reported damage or casualties. The attack was reportedly a retaliatory move by Tehran, responding to earlier US-Saudi military operations against Iranian-backed groups operating in Iraq.
Trump indicated that diplomatic channels would remain open alongside military action, saying the US would 'hit them very hard because it's our turn to hit them.'
