What is Azraq base – the US facility in Jordan that Iran just struck

Al‑Azraq (also known as Muwaffaq Salti Air Base) is a joint US‑Jordanian installation about 100 km east of Amman.

In February, satellite imagery showed more than 60 US jets – including 30 F‑35s and 36 F‑15s.

The base hosts the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing (F‑15Es, MQ‑9 Reapers), with F‑35s rotating in.

Under a 15‑year agreement, the US has comprehensive operational control. Striking Azraq pulls Jordan – a nominal US ally – directly into the crossfire.
