Middle East Eye reports that three Iranian missiles headed toward Jordan were intercepted over the Syrian province of Dara'a. No details on the type of missiles or any casualties have been provided.
Later Tuesday evening, Middle East Eye reported that three Iranian ballistic missiles bound for Jordan were intercepted over Syria's Dara'a province — the first confirmed interception detail from tonight's wave of Iranian launches targeting American interests in the region. The report, attributed to unnamed regional sources, did not specify the missile type or launch origin, and provided no casualty information.
The evening's events began at 21:27 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer reported ballistic missiles launched from Tabriz and Kermanshah based on regional sources. Within minutes, Iranian state-affiliated accounts and journalist Barak Ravid confirmed that the launches targeted U.S. military bases in Jordan, with Iran's Tasnim agency describing the barrage as a 'decisive action' in response to American strikes. The MEE report now adds that at least three of those projectiles were neutralized over Syrian territory before reaching Jordan.
The interception over Syria marks a departure from previous incidents: as The Zioneer has documented over recent months, Jordan's military and U.S. forces have intercepted Iranian missiles over Jordanian territory and the Gulf states. This is the first known case in this escalation where a projectile aimed at Jordan was taken down over Syrian airspace.
Still unverified are the missile type, the exact launch site, and whether any projectiles from tonight's barrage struck Jordanian soil or U.S. assets. No official confirmation from Jordan, Syria, or the U.S. military has been issued as of 23:43 Jerusalem.
