According to reporting by The New York Times, Jordan has rapidly emerged as a new focal point in the U.S.-Iran conflict, with U.S. officials saying Iranian forces have attacked American troops there four times in the past five days including last night's attacks that killed two U.S. service members, left another missing, wounded dozens more, and damaged multiple helicopters.Their intelligence is pretty good, too:
U.S. officials told the Times the pace and effectiveness of the strikes suggest Iran not only retains substantial missile inventories, but is becoming increasingly effective at penetrating U.S. and allied air defenses.
The Times also reports that Jordan's strategic importance has grown significantly as the U.S. shifted forces there from Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE ahead of the conflict, while some regional partners have placed greater restrictions on U.S. military operations from their territory. According to U.S. officials, Jordan has become one of Washington's most important operating hubs in the region.

According to new reporting from the Wall Street Journal, multiple U.S. manned and unmanned aircraft were reportedly damaged in Iran's attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, which also killed two U.S. service members and wounded several others. Hundreds of U.S. personnel and dozens of aircraft have been temporarily stationed at the base for strikes on Iran. The strike reflects an increasing focus on targeting U.S. air assets as the conflict continues to escalate.
Trump still couldn’t care less.Additionally, Iran has proven an ability to hit sensitive targets in the Middle East, raising concerns that the regime is getting targeting data and assistance from China and/or Russia. pic.twitter.com/5rJtW1mje9

I was reading how, starting with Jimmy Carter's peace deal between Israel and Egypt, how the US has been buying off Muslim majority countries to protect Israel ever since and how Iran's attacks are making them think that maybe that was not in their long term interest anymore. This war could turn into an even bigger regional if not larger bloodbath, one of the most likely outcomes is the US's power in the region is shot.
