Iran live updates: Trump says 'no chance' Iran war will last rest of his term

Several U.S. warplanes were damaged in Iran’s attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan earlier this week, two sources with knowledge of the incident told ABC News Thursday.

One A-10 attack aircraft was hit and lost a wing, while about eight F-15 fighter jets sustained light damage and were put back into service, they said.

The president had denied reports about U.S. aircraft damage during a news interview earlier Thursday.

Iran has resumed producing limited numbers of ballistic missiles at underground sites, relying on components that were stored before the war began, a U.S. official familiar with the latest intelligence assessments on the matter told ABC News.

According to the official, Iran is manufacturing the weapons at a significantly slower rate than it was before the conflict.

It’s unclear whether Iran will be able to continue manufacturing the missiles after its stockpiles run dry, as damage to the country’s production sites and the ongoing U.S. blockade have complicated its ability to make or procure the necessary parts, they said.

The intelligence findings were first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

President Donald Trump denied reports that a U.S. military aircraft at a base in Jordan has been damaged by Iranian strikes in an interview with NewsNation Thursday morning.

"Nope… None whatsoever. No damage. No nothing," Trump said in the interview.

NewsNation then pressed Trump on the timeline for ending the war with Iran. Trump said he thinks the war will end "after the elections," but then added that it could be "maybe sooner."

"I don’t know that they’re gonna be able to hold out," Trump told NewsNation, when asked how Iran could continue holding out under the current economic pressure. "But it’ll get settled after the elections. Or maybe sooner. But it’ll get settled right after the election."

The Al-Masirah television channel -- controlled by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen -- reported on Thursday that Saudi Arabia struck around 40 targets across four Yemeni regions over the previous 24 hours.

Recent weeks have seen the resumption of significant fighting on Yemen's western Red Sea coast, with the Houthi rebels clashing with forces loyal to the Saudi-backed, internationally-recognized Yemeni government.
