The information was reported by US media, while neither the United States nor Jordan had issued an official statement on the incident.
According to reports, Iran used missiles named Khorramshahr, Ghadr, Emad, Zolfaghar and Fattah during the attack on the air base.
What Did the CBS Report Say?
A CBS report citing journalist Jennifer Jacobs said that an Iranian missile strike damaged an A-10 Thunderbolt aircraft, with one of its wings reportedly breaking off. The report also said that eight F-15 fighter jets sustained damage.
However, the damage to the F-15 aircraft was reportedly repaired, and the jets were made ready for military operations again.

According to sources, US forces used more than 30 Patriot missiles in an attempt to intercept the Iranian missiles. Despite this, the report said that 60 Iranian missiles managed to reach their intended direction, resulting in damage to US aircraft.
Sources also claimed that F-15, F-16 and F-35 fighter jets of the US Air Force were damaged. However, the CBS report specifically mentioned damage to eight F-15 aircraft and an A-10 Thunderbolt, while it did not include F-35 aircraft among the reported losses.
No Official Statement From the US or Jordan
