- On Tuesday evening, Jordanian air defense systems intercepted five missiles launched from Iran targeting the Azraq region in Zarqa Governorate, a military official at the General Command of the Jordanian Armed Forces-Arab Army confirmed.
- Iran launched missile attacks on June 10, 2026, targeting American military bases across the Gulf, including Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain, following American airstrikes on Iranian positions after an Army helicopter was downed near the Strait of Hormuz.
- Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for targeting four sites at the Azraq Air Base, while Jordanian officials reported that interception debris fell on Jordanian territory without causing injuries or material damage.
