President Trump has denied reports that Iranian strikes damaged American military aircraft at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.

Getting into it: Asked by NewsNation’s Robert Sherman whether there was any truth to the reports, Trump said, “Nope. None whatsoever. No damage. No nothing.”

However, CBS News reported Thursday, citing people with direct knowledge, that one A-10 Thunderbolt lost a wing and roughly eight F-15s took light damage before being returned to service. A US official confirmed those details to Reuters, and Air & Space Forces Magazine reported similar findings, identifying the F-15s as Strike Eagles and noting that Central Command did not respond to a request for comment.

The strikes came overnight Tuesday into Wednesday after the US destroyed five Iranian oil tankers, a move the Pentagon said was retaliation for the IRGC targeting a Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice in two days. Iran said it struck the base with missiles as part of a punitive operation and also claimed attacks on eight tankers and two warships. Jordan’s military said it detected 20 incoming ballistic missiles and destroyed 18, with the other two landing in unpopulated areas. US forces fired more than 30 Patriot interceptors to defend the base.

This all comes as the Pentagon continues to deny that the US is running low on air defense interceptors. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimates about 65% of US Patriot interceptors were expended between February and July, leaving fewer than 850 from a prewar stock of 2,330. The same analysts found the military had burned through more than half its THAAD interceptors as of late July.
