Iran fired ballistic missiles at a US used air base in Jordan on August 31, 2026, and President Trump publicly insisted no damage had occurred. On September 10, a US official confirmed to reporters that the strike had in fact damaged American aircraft, including an A-10 Thunderbolt II left with a missing wing and about eight F-15 fighter jets. The admission directly contradicts Trump's earlier public claim and comes amid a broader Iran war, now more than six months old, that has killed 18 US service members and injured over 800.
