Jordan's military announced Wednesday morning that its air defense systems intercepted 18 of approximately 20 ballistic missiles launched from Iran toward its territory overnight, with two falling in open areas and no casualties reported, according to The Zioneer.
Initial reports of the launches emerged around 00:33 Jerusalem, with early estimates suggesting 30–40 ballistic missiles. At 00:59, reports indicated over 30 missiles were headed toward Jordan. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility at 01:48, stating the attack targeted US bases in response to American strikes on Iranian oil tankers. The Jordanian military issued its first official statement at 02:38, reporting that 20 ballistic missiles had been launched from Iran, of which 18 were intercepted and two fell in open areas, with no casualties. Later, at 06:24, Iran confirmed it had struck the Muwaffaq Salti and Prince Hassan military bases. The attack is the latest in a series of Iranian ballistic missile strikes on Jordan and US regional assets, following a pattern of escalation since June 2026, as The Zioneer has previously reported.
