Jordan's official news agency reports, citing the army, that three missiles launched from Iran landed in Jordan this morning. No casualties were reported. The confirmation follows earlier reports from Israeli media citing the same.
The Jordanian military officially confirmed at 10:22 Jerusalem that three Iranian missiles struck its territory earlier today, with no casualties. This confirmation is the latest in a rapid sequence of reports that began at 04:52 Jerusalem, when unverified security channels first reported possible Iranian missile launches. By 04:52, reports specified launches from western Iran, then indicated missiles were targeting US bases in Jordan, expanded to include US targets in Kuwait, and reported a fresh barrage toward Jordan. Also at 04:52, Jordanian officials, cited by Israeli media (Ynet), confirmed three missiles had landed. The official confirmation now upgrades those sourced claims to an on-record military statement.
The thread has evolved from a single unverified source to multiple corroborating reports, and now to official confirmation. Earlier in the region, as The Zioneer reported on Jun 11, Jordan's air defenses intercepted 20 Iranian missiles overnight. Later that day, open-source reports suggested some Iranian missiles had hit Jordan, avoiding interceptors. A preliminary report on Jun 28 indicated a launch toward Jordan, and on Jul 9, reports stated Iran fired 10 ballistic missiles at a base in Jordan. The current incident appears to follow this pattern of Iranian missile activity toward Jordan.
It remains unclear whether the three missiles struck near US military assets in Jordan, and no damage assessment has been released. The trajectory and intended targets of the missiles have not been specified by Jordanian or US officials.
