- A leaked video from Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti Air Base shows U.S. troops taking shelter during Iranian missile and drone attacks, highlighting ongoing dangers despite U.S. claims of Iranian military annihilation.
- Since July 9, Iran has attacked at least nine U.S. outposts across the Middle East, with some bases suffering significant damage and multiple troops killed, including three at the Jordan base.
- U.S. air defense systems are being overwhelmed by Iranian hypersonic missiles and advanced drones, partly due to depleted stocks of Patriots and THAAD interceptors, forcing U.S. forces to let some missiles through.
- The U.S. and allies used over 11,000 munitions in the first 16 days of the war, and reports warn that THAAD and Patriot inventories could take years to replenish.
- Iran's IRGC claims to have struck multiple Patriot air-defense radars and warned civilians to stay away from U.S. military facilities, while CENTCOM refuses to comment on battle damage assessments.
- Leaked information suggests Russia may have provided targeting support to Iran, and the Pentagon's official casualty numbers are reportedly a gross undercount, with hundreds of U.S. personnel killed or wounded.
