Iran launched ballistic missiles toward the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba on Wednesday morning, according to Iranian reports. Israeli media reported air-defense explosions near Eilat. The US military intercepted two of the missiles over Jordan, as The Zioneer reported at 10:45.
New reports at 10:58 Jerusalem indicate that Iran launched ballistic missiles toward the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba, with missiles launched from the Kermanshah area and Tehran, according to Iranian reports cited by Israeli media. The US military intercepted two of the missiles over Jordan, confirming earlier reports of interceptions at 10:45.
The missile attacks began late Monday night, with reports of launches from Tabriz toward Jordan. At 01:06 Jerusalem, multiple reports emerged: a missile from Tabriz, additional launches from the same city, and a US interception of one missile, with no impacts recorded in Israel. Earlier today, at 10:45, The Zioneer reported that the US intercepted two missiles over Jordan, with explosions heard in Eilat and an Arkia flight diverted. The current report adds a new salvo aimed at Aqaba, with launch sites in Kermanshah and Tehran.
The attacks are part of a broader Iranian missile campaign. As The Zioneer reported on July 20, Iran launched four ballistic missiles toward Aqaba, and on July 18, missiles were launched from southern Iran toward Jordan. Additional reports from July 21 indicated long-range missiles from Kurdistan heading west.
No casualties or damage have been reported from the latest salvo. The exact target—whether Aqaba, other sites in Jordan, or Israel—remains unconfirmed. The situation is fluid, with multiple unverified reports of ongoing launches.
