Video appears to show Iranian missile attack on airbase which killed two US service members

Footage appears to show the moment that Iranian missiles hit an airbase in Jordan on Friday (17 July), killing two US service members.

Another service member is missing, whilst four others were medically evacuated to hospitals in Jordan and have since been discharged.

The two US deaths were the first to occur following the collapse of a ceasefire that was agreed upon last month.

On Monday (20 July), the US military said it completed its ninth consecutive evening of airstrikes against Iran.

At least 15 US service members have now died during the five-month-long war with Tehran, including six people who were killed when two refuelling jets supporting US military operations crashed in Iraq.
