Iran launched missiles targeting American military bases in Jordan overnight, following strikes on Iranian launchers, according to The Zioneer.
Overnight Monday, Iran launched missiles targeting American military bases in Jordan, according to The Zioneer. The launch came after strikes on Iranian launchers, the nature and origin of which remain unspecified. This marks the latest exchange in the ongoing direct kinetic confrontation between Tehran and Washington.
The Zioneer first reported Iranian fire directed at a US base in Jordan at 00:43 Jerusalem. Minutes later, ballistic missiles were observed crossing Jordanian airspace toward the base. American Patriot missile defenses were then observed intercepting incoming Iranian ballistic missiles reportedly headed for the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, with interceptions visible from Israeli territory.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, Iran has launched multiple waves of ballistic missiles at US bases in Jordan and the Gulf region over the past months. On June 11, Iran struck US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan in a second wave of attacks. On July 12, Iran launched approximately ten ballistic missiles toward American military targets in Jordan and Kuwait. The exchanges are part of a broader escalation between Washington and Tehran.
No details on casualties or damage at the targeted bases are available at this time. The specific origin of the strikes on Iranian launchers that preceded this latest barrage has not been confirmed.
