According to an Iranian source cited by an Arabic the source, Jordan's air defenses intercepted 4 of 8 Iranian ballistic missiles launched today, with the remaining 4 striking the Prince Sultan airbase in eastern Jordan. The claim contradicts the Jordanian military's earlier statement of intercepting all 4 missiles in the area. The report is unverified.
This report, citing an Iranian source, claims that the Jordanian military intercepted only four of the eight ballistic missiles launched by Iran earlier today, with the remaining four striking the Prince Sultan airbase in eastern Jordan. The claim contradicts the Jordanian military's official statement at 08:04 Jerusalem, which reported intercepting four Iranian missiles with no casualties or damage. In that earlier statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was cited as claiming the target was the Prince Hassan airbase, which it alleges hosts US MQ-9 drones. The new report identifies the target as the Prince Sultan airbase, a different facility. The number of missiles launched allegedly totals eight, rather than the four acknowledged by Jordan. The information comes from a single, unofficial source and has not been independently verified. Jordanian authorities have not yet responded to the latest report. The Zioneer will continue to monitor the situation.
