Iran's Ballistic Airbnb Hits Jordan, Checks Out 2 U.S. Guests Early
KEY POINTS
- •On July 15, Iranian ballistic missiles struck the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan hosting U.S. forces.

- •Videos of the missile impacts and heavy smoke quickly spread on social media, raising the U.S. death toll to 16.
On July 15, Iran decided to RSVP ballistic missiles to Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, where Americans apparently don’t get frequent flyer miles for dodging incoming ordnance. CENTCOM confirmed two U.S. service members were sadly checked out of this mortal coil, four others survived a 'medical evacuation' but scored a discharge like returning rental cars with too much mileage, and one hero pulled an unexpected disappearing act labeled 'Missing in Action.' Social media videos rushed to the scene capturing not oil spills or cat fail videos, but missile impacts and a smoke cloud thick enough to make a vape bar jealous. This deadly encore marks 16 U.S. deaths since two weeks of regional sputtering violence reignited.
