Jordan Shoots Down 5 Iranian Missiles as US unleashes ‘Heavy Wave’ of Strikes Against Iran
Jordan’s air defenses intercepted the missiles hours after U.S. forces struck dozens of Revolutionary Guard targets in response to an attack on a base hosting American troops.
- On Thursday, air defenses in Jordan intercepted five missiles launched from Iran, according to the state-run Petra news agency. The defensive action occurred hours after the United States military announced it had completed "a heavy wave of strikes against Iran."
- Wednesday's operation saw the United States partnered with Saudi Arabia to strike Iran-backed militias in Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters and six Iranian advisers. This escalation preceded the latest Iranian barrage.
- Central Command reported striking "dozens" of targets belonging to the Revolutionary Guard Corps, including command centers and missile facilities. While Jordan reported no casualties from the missile intercepts, Iranian media claimed casualties occurred on the island of Qeshm.
- President Donald Trump vowed to hit Iran "very hard" after the missile attack on a Jordan base. Meanwhile, the British security firm Ambrey reported drone strikes ignited fires on two natural gas vessels at the Egyptian port of Damietta.
- Egypt remains one of the only countries in the Middle East spared from direct military action during the war. The five-month conflict has jolted the global economy and is unpopular among Americans, reflecting the broader stakes of ongoing escalation.
