It was over Jordan, where American Patriot batteries spent part of Monday morning shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles aimed at an air base that most people outside the region have never heard of.<\/p>\r\n<p>By Tuesday, US Central Command said its answering wave of strikes on Iran was finished, roughly five hours after it began. The targets, according to CENTCOM, were the things that let Iran reach out and touch shipping: air defence systems, command centres, and the launch sites for its drones and rockets.<\/p>\r\n<p>What follows is a sequence worth laying out carefully, because the numbers being claimed by each side do not agree.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px 22px;margin:24px 0;border-radius:6px\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px\">Informations cl\u00e9s<\/p><table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:15px\"><tr><td style=\"padding:5px 12px 5px 0;color:#666;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\"><strong>Opening move<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:5px 0\">30 August: US forces struck two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, near the Strait of Hormuz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:5px 12px 5px 0;color:#666;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\"><strong>Iranian retaliation<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:5px 0\">31 August: IRGC ballistic missiles fired at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base near Azraq, Jordan<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:5px 12px 5px 0;color:#666;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\"><strong>Interception<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:5px 0\">Jordanian and US air defences engaged; US Patriot PAC-3 MSE interceptors used in quantity<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:5px 12px 5px 0;color:#666;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\"><strong>US response<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:5px 0\">1 September: CENTCOM strike wave on Iranian air defences, command centres and launch sites, declared complete after about five hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:5px 12px 5px 0;color:#666;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\"><strong>Also targeted<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:5px 0\">Iran claimed drone attacks on Al Menhad Air Base in the UAE; Kuwait reported intercepting drones<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:5px 12px 5px 0;color:#666;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\"><strong>Stated US goal<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:5px 0\">Degrade Iran\u2019s ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz<\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Larak Island, and what was on it<\/h2>\r\n<p>The immediate trigger came late on Sunday 30 August, when US forces hit two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, a small Iranian island sitting almost on top of the shipping lanes at the mouth of the Gulf. According to Gulf News, the launchers were being readied to fire rockets carrying sea mines, which is about as direct a threat to tanker traffic as it is possible to assemble. Iranian state media reported two people killed and several wounded.<\/p>\r\n<p>Mining the strait, or even credibly threatening to, is Iran's oldest lever. It does not require air superiority or a functioning air force. It requires launchers close to the water and the willingness to use them, which is exactly what the strike was meant to remove.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Thirty minutes over Azraq<\/h2>\r\n<p>Iran's answer came in the early hours of Monday, and it went to Jordan. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired ballistic missiles at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base near Azraq, east of Amman, and claimed to have caused heavy damage there and at a second Jordanian site.<\/p>\r\n<p>Muwaffaq Salti is the Royal Jordanian Air Force's principal fast-jet base, home to its <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/fr\/aeronef\/f-16-fighting-falcon\/\">F-16 Fighting Falcon<\/a> fleet, and it also hosts US forces. It is named after a Jordanian Hunter pilot killed in 1966, a story we told in <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/fr\/muwaffaq-salti-pilote-jordanien-samu-1966-hawker-hunter\/\">Le pilote dont le nom est inscrit sur la porte<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2094181057314558160&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px;border:none;border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>The counts do not match, and it is worth being honest about that. Gulf News reported 32 ballistic missiles launched, with the Jordanian army intercepting eight and a US source saying nearly all incoming missiles had been intercepted. The Swiss outlet watson reported ten intercepted by Jordanian air defence with three more falling in remote areas and no casualties. President Trump said American air defences had intercepted every Iranian missile capable of doing damage. The IRGC, predictably, claimed heavy damage.<\/p>\r\n<p>What is not disputed is the intensity of the defensive effort. Gulf News reported that US Army crews fired somewhere between 96 and 128 PAC-3 MSE interceptors, at an estimated cost of 380 to 640 million dollars, to defend against a single night's barrage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img data-opt-id=785770278  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:aqj0.d062\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/royal-jordanian-air-force-f-16-fighting-falcon.jpg\" alt=\"Royal Jordanian Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons in flight\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Royal Jordanian Air Force F-16s.

A PAC-3 MSE round costs several million dollars. A ballistic missile fired from Iran costs a fraction of that, and a one-way attack drone costs a rounding error. Every night like Monday is a trade in which the defender spends far more than the attacker, and no magazine is bottomless.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re going to hit them hard&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> &mdash; President of the United States, on the response to the Jordan attack<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Trump also described Iran as totally defeated militarily and called it a failed nation.

Iran claimed to have attacked Al Menhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates with dozens of drones. Kuwait reported intercepting drones over its territory. Iranian media reported strikes against a US base in Bahrain. None of these countries is a belligerent.<\/p>\r\n<p>Inside Iran, the IRGC reported that a wedding celebration at Sirik was hit, killing four people including a child and wounding 63. Casualty claims from either side in this conflict have been hard to verify independently, and that one is no exception, but it is the sort of report that shapes how the war is understood domestically.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_ME3jzXa_mY\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>CENTCOM's framing has not changed since the campaign began in May: keep the tankers moving. Roughly four months on, the method still involves flattening Iranian air defences faster than they can be rebuilt, and the geography of the retaliation keeps getting wider. The Gulf's air-defence crews are the ones absorbing that expansion, one very expensive night at a time.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:14px;color:#777;font-style:italic;margin-top:28px\">Sources: Gulf
