Open-source intelligence group Faytuks Network reports Iran has stepped up
missile strikes on US bases over the past week. Most missiles were intercepted
and most Gulf bases sustained only minor damage, but strikes in Jordan have been
more persistent and damaging. Despite interceptions, missiles have hit Jordanian
targets nearly nightly since the escalation, a pattern that may indicate local
air defenses are approaching saturation and interceptor shortages, which would
reduce per-shot intercept effectiveness. Muwaffaq Salti Air Base — a key US
power-projection node hosting multiple fighter squadrons, including F-15s and
F-35s — has sustained multiple hits; satellite imagery shows two new impact
points near a northern hangar and several destroyed structures. King Hussein
(H5) Air Base has recorded at least two hits; imagery shows a destroyed hangar
that may have housed aircraft (presence unknown) and craters and burn marks near
the runway edge, implying damage to adjacent runway areas. Faytuks says most
other attacks on US facilities have largely failed and so far had limited
operational impact.
