Iranian missiles have struck a US base in Jordan for at least the second time this week amid reports of multiple US casualties. As of now, we have no reports from US Central Command or the Pentagon. I wouldn’t read much into that. Based on FIRMS data, it appears the firefighting effort may still be ongoing so any casualty notifications would be premature before the situation there is under control. This comes as strikes intensify between the US and Iran as the war appears to be back in full swing.
