US Patriot Battery Intercepts Iranian Ballistic Missiles Over Jordan Air Base

🛡️ JORDAN — Iran is targeting the base that hosts US strike aircraft, not just symbols. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Muwaffaq Salti hosts F-16s and has been a staging point for CENTCOM regional ops. Iran targeting it with medium-range ballistic missiles — not drones — signals a deliberate choice to degrade US air power projection, not just retaliate. Patriot intercepts confirm the threat was real. If one gets through, US casualties in Jordan become the escalation trigger every analyst has flagged.
