Iranian state-affiliated media claims Iranian missiles bypassed US air defenses to strike an American base in Jordan. The report lacks independent verification or corroborating evidence from US or Jordanian officials, and the source is known for state-aligned propaganda. If confirmed, this would represent a significant escalation in regional hostilities.
