The US Embassy in Jordan has ordered all American citizens to immediately seek shelter, citing reports of missiles, drones, and rockets in the country's airspace. Footage from Ghanem Ibrahim appears to show interceptions taking place over Jordan, according to unverified reports.
At 14:07 Jerusalem, footage emerged on social media attributed to Ghanem Ibrahim, appearing to show interceptions over Jordan. The footage comes as the US Embassy in Jordan maintains its shelter-in-place order for American citizens, citing missiles, drones, or rockets in the country's airspace. The source and timing of the footage remain unverified.
The shelter-in-place order was first issued at 14:00 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported. Shortly after, The Zioneer reported that Iran had launched two additional missiles toward Jordan, based on unverified reports. The initial embassy alert followed a series of regional alerts and interceptions over Jordan in recent hours. At 14:04, The Zioneer published a further update confirming the missile launches. The current footage adds visual evidence of interceptions, though the authenticity has not been independently confirmed.
As The Zioneer reported on June 11, the US Embassy in Jordan had previously warned citizens to seek shelter due to missiles and drones in the airspace. On June 8, the embassy issued a similar call for shelter. The broader context includes alerts from the US Embassy in Baghdad warning of possible airspace closures, as reported on June 10, and a shelter-in-place order for the US Embassy in Jerusalem on June 8. These events are part of a regional escalation involving Iranian threats.
What remains unclear is the exact nature of the threats—whether ballistic missiles, drones, or rockets—and the success rate of the interceptions. The footage has not been verified, and no official confirmation has been provided regarding the number of interceptors or the extent of the aerial threats. The situation remains fluid.
