Iran Launches Drone Attack on U.S. Base in Jordan as Hormuz Crisis Intensifies
On September 9, 2026, Iran launched a drone attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan, escalating tensions in the region. The attack coincided with a deepening impasse over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. The U.S. military confirmed the attack, but no casualties or damage were reported.
Iranian state media reported that the attack was a direct response to U.S. military operations in the Gulf, particularly the ongoing standoff over the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military, through a statement released by the Jordanian Defense Ministry, confirmed that multiple drones were launched toward the base but did not specify the number or type of drones involved. The attack occurred at 1:45 AM local time, just hours after the publication of the report by the Bangkok Post.
