The U.S. Embassy in Jordan instructed its employees to take shelter, citing additional rocket and missile launches from Iran toward Jordanian airspace. The order follows a series of similar alerts amid escalating regional tensions.
The U.S. Embassy in Jordan has reported additional Iranian rocket and missile launches toward the kingdom, issuing an updated shelter-in-place order for its employees at 14:06 Jerusalem time. This fresh alert comes minutes after earlier warnings and as footage of interceptions over Jordan circulated.
The sequence began at 14:00 Jerusalem, when the embassy first ordered all American citizens to immediately seek overhead shelter, citing reports of missiles, drones, and rockets in Jordanian airspace. Moments later, The Zioneer reported two additional Iranian missile launches toward Jordan, based on unverified reports. Also at 14:00, unverified footage posted by Ghanem Ibrahim appeared to show interceptions taking place over Jordan. At 14:04, The Zioneer published a separate bulletin corroborating the additional launches. The embassy's earlier alerts on June 8 and June 11—reported by The Zioneer—had warned of aerial threats, but the current wave marks a sharp escalation.
The Zioneer has reported on the broader regional context: the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad issued warnings of possible travel disruptions and airspace closures as of June 10, and the IRGC threatened "unprecedented attacks" if the U.S. strikes Iran. The current alerts in Jordan are part of this heightened state.
The number and trajectory of the additional launches, as well as any interceptions or casualties, have not been independently verified. No casualties have been reported.
