Iran Targets US Drone Base in Jordan with Ballistic Missiles

Egypt-based intelligence tracking platform Egypt's Intel Observer reported on the X platform that a possible scorch mark was detected on the runway of Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan in a shared satellite image. The platform argued that if a direct hit by Iranian ballistic missiles is confirmed, the runway could be unusable for a period. This base is known to host the US Navy's MQ-4C Triton maritime surveillance drones.

Although no official confirmation or statement has arrived yet, the images show that tensions in the region have escalated militarily. Iran's ballistic missile capabilities and their operational use against US assets are reshaping regional security calculations. The development of the situation poses a critical test for both Washington and Amman.

Experts emphasize that if such a hit is confirmed, the US Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capacity in the region could be temporarily affected. Furthermore, this development increases risks regarding the Iran-Israel-US triangle and the security of US assets.
