CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.55
Iranian ballistic missiles struck King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba, Jordan, on 2026-07-19, sending black smoke rising.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because with inspectors locked out of Fordow and Natanz, the world no longer knows how much enriched uranium Iran actually has, shrinking the warning time before a possible weapon and raising the odds of a preemptive Israeli or US strike based on guesswork.
