00:21Iran has launched a massive ballistic missile attack against U.S. military positions in
00:27jordan with reports of american troops being seriously injured and evacuated to germany
00:34according to a jordanian source cited by al arabia a large number of injured u.s soldiers
00:40are being flown to ramstein airbase in germany with some reportedly suffering life-threatening
00:47injuries but at the same time a u.s official has told reuters that all american troops in jordan
00:55are accounted for and that wording is important being accounted for does not necessarily mean
01:02there are no casualties so reports of casualties and the official headcount can exist at the same time
01:13the reported iranian barrage was massive more than 40 missiles are claimed to have been launched
01:20although different reports have put the number lower the main reported targets include the muwafik
01:26salty and prince hassan air bases in jordan where american forces operate and according to reports
01:33at least four missiles directly impacted at muwafik salty even more striking some reports claim that
01:41no interceptors were fired against those particular missiles across the wider attack however jordanian
01:48air defenses reportedly launched a huge number of interceptors the united states is also reported to
01:55have fired between 110 and 120 pac-2 and pac-3 patriot interceptors that gives you an idea of the
02:04scale of
02:05the incoming attack and then came another dramatic development
02:14a kaber shakhan ballistic missile reportedly managed to evade patriot defenses and directly impact a target
02:25the iranian revolutionary guard corps has also claimed that its missiles were aimed at facilities connected to
02:33for the maintenance repair preparation and deployment of f-35 f-16 and f-15 fighter jets
02:41it also claimed to have targeted aircraft shelters there are even reports that iran may have used ballistic missiles
02:49carrying cluster sub-munitions against the akaba airbase that particular claim remains unconfirmed
02:57meanwhile video circulating from the attack reportedly shows the destruction of a jordanian air defense
03:04platform the footage is said to have been documented by an american soldier but amid all these claims one
03:12question remains how much damage did the iranian attack actually cause and just as importantly how many
03:21u.s and jordanian personnel were injured those answers are still developing what is clear is that iran has
03:30demonstrated the ability at least according to the emerging reports to launch a large and coordinated
03:36ballistic missile attack against u.s linked military infrastructure in jordan and with american casualties
03:44now being reported this could mark a dangerous new phase in the confrontation between iran
03:50and the united states
