What happened
On September 10, 2026, Iran launched a ballistic missile attack on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, hitting multiple United States fighter jets. Eight F-15 jets sustained light damage, and an A-10 Thunderbolt II lost a wing. This attack followed the U.S. sinking five Iranian tankers after Iran fired on a U.S. Navy warship.
Why it matters
The escalating conflict between the U.S. and Iran contributed to a sharp decline in the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries index on September 2, 2026. The market decline was attributed to the conflict, alongside surging oil prices and rising bond yields, which weakened demand for riskier assets.
