Iranian attacks on at least two military bases in Jordan this week reportedly injured several U.S. service members when their facility was struck, CBS News reported on Friday, July 18th, 2026. The extent and timing of the injuries remain unclear, and both the U.S. and Jordan have reported no fatalities.

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The U.S. military’s death toll in the ongoing conflict with Iran has reached 14, including a Navy pilot who died earlier this month in a crash over the Arabian Sea. More than 400 service members have been wounded since the conflict began.

This week, the Iranian military intensified drone and missile attacks on U.S.-allied nations in the Persian Gulf following several consecutive days of U.S. strikes on Iranian targets. The U.S., which maintains troops across the Middle East, launched another wave of strikes on Friday, marking the seventh straight day aimed at degrading Tehran’s military capabilities.

A tenuous ceasefire agreed upon last month appears to be collapsing after peace negotiations faltered and the U.S. accused Iran of attacking merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has retaliated against Gulf allies including Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Mohsen Rezaei, a military adviser to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, warned Washington of a “full-scale offensive” if the U.S. continues its missile campaign. On Friday, Iranian missiles and drones also injured a number of Kuwaiti military personnel, according to the Kuwaiti army.
