A new report indicates further launches from Iranian territory toward Jordan, following a wave of projectile fire reported earlier tonight. Details on the number of projectiles and any impacts are not yet available.
Shortly after 01:00 Jerusalem, reports emerged of additional Iranian projectiles launched toward Jordan, following a wave of launches reported earlier tonight. The new reports come after a senior American official confirmed that Iran had launched missiles toward a US military base in Jordan, as The Zioneer reported at 00:41 Jerusalem. Israeli security systems had also detected additional launches from Iran toward Jordan, with interceptions observed over Jordanian skies.
The thread of reports began at 00:41 Jerusalem, with unverified reports of Iranian launches toward Jordan and interceptions over Jordanian skies. Footage recorded by an Israeli citizen appeared to show missile interceptions, and Israeli observation systems confirmed interceptions launched from Iranian territory. Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported launches from central Iran toward Jordan, providing visual evidence. A senior US official then confirmed that the missiles were directed at an American base in Jordan. Iranian sources reported a second wave of launches at 00:41, and further reports shortly after 01:00 indicate a continuation of the barrage.
The current escalation is part of a sustained direct confrontation between Iran and Western-aligned regional forces. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Iran has previously targeted military installations in Jordan, including the Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base, which hosts American forces. The launches from Kerman in southeastern Iran, as reported, align with patterns of Iranian ballistic missile operations against regional assets.
No details are available on the number of projectiles in the latest wave, their type, or whether they have been intercepted or struck in Jordan. Casualties and impacts remain unconfirmed.
