A report Thursday morning indicates Iranian launches toward Jordan, following a night of reported US strikes on Iranian targets. The number, type, and status of the projectiles have not been independently confirmed.
Reports from Iranian sources on Thursday morning indicate that Tehran launched several ballistic missiles toward Jordan, in what appears to be a second wave of strikes following the overnight barrage. According to messages circulating on the Telegram channels monitored by The Zioneer, missiles were fired in two waves from the Tabriz area, with the first reports emerging around 07:08 Jerusalem time. The number and type of projectiles, as well as any impacts or casualties, have not been independently confirmed.
The reported launches follow a night of significant escalation. On Wednesday evening, a US official told i24NEWS that Iran had fired ballistic missiles at a US base in Jordan, describing it as a 'major attack'. Earlier, the Admakr news outlet reported that dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) operatives had been killed in joint US and Saudi strikes in Iraq, which Tehran cited as the reason for its retaliatory missile fire.
As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday night, the overnight barrage marked a sharp escalation in the direct confrontation between Iran and the United States, coming after a brief suspension of US strikes. The Thursday morning launches suggest the cycle of retaliation is continuing.
