I have no idea where he got those numbers from. The official figure from the Jordanian Armed Forces is 8 ballistic missiles.
The claim that 96 to 160 Patriot interceptors were fired is also complete fantasy.

BREAKING: The US Army launched 96 to 160 PAC-3 MSE interceptors from its Patriot batteries in Jordan tonight against 32 to 40 Iranian ballistic missiles. Three to four rounds at each missile.
At ~$4 million a shot, that is $380-640 million burned in a single wave to keep two bases covered. A fully loaded battery holds 72-96 MSE on the rails. Two batteries plus a local reload is a few hundred rounds in-country, and tonight took a third to half of that.
Without a restock from the Gulf or US mainland, two or three more nights like this empty the Jordan magazines. If those batteries weren't fully loaded going into the night, the ready pile is already gone this morning.
Each PAC-3 MSE takes about two years to build.

Iranian state-linked Noor News lays out Tehran's strategy: rather than match U.S. military superiority, Iran aims to raise the economic and political price America pays for the war.
The goal, per the outlet, is to make each U.S. decision costlier than the last, disrupt energy markets, and turn the conflict into a domestic issue ahead of the U.S. midterms.

Trump:
The only reason that communities throughout the U.S.A. should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor. If they want to be successful and rich, with far lower taxes and jobs all over the place, let Data Reign. The good news is that there are plenty of other places that want them. If we kill the Golden Goose, you will only have yourselves to blame. China could not be happier with this anti Data Center movement. Actually, they can’t believe it is happening!
