Unverified footage circulating on Telegram appears to document Iranian forces firing in the Aqaba area of southern Jordan, the closest such firing to Israeli territory to date. The source claims this is a signal to Israel. The footage has not been independently verified, and no details on impact or casualties are available.
Just after 15:13 Jerusalem on Sunday, reports emerged of sirens in Jordan, followed by confirmation that Iranian missiles had been fired toward the port city of Aqaba. Within minutes, US air defense systems (Aegis) intercepted the projectiles, and Israel's Iron Dome was activated over southern Israel to intercept falling fragments near Eilat. Now, unverified footage circulating on Telegram appears to document Iranian forces firing in the Aqaba area, described by the source as the closest such firing to Israeli territory to date. The footage has not been independently verified, and no details on impact or casualties are available.
The thread began at 15:13 Jerusalem when ynet reported sirens in Jordan. The Zioneer's subsequent updates tracked the escalation: additional siren reports at 15:14; identification of Aqaba as the specific target; confirmation that US Aegis intercepted the missiles and Iron Dome downed fragments near Eilat. The footage adds a visual element to the sequence, though it remains unverified and its provenance is unclear.
The events come against a backdrop of heightened tensions. The Zioneer reported on June 14 that Israeli security assessments indicated a high likelihood of a direct Iranian strike from its territory, and on June 20 that Iran issued ultimatums threatening missile fire if Israeli operations in Lebanon continue. The United States has been applying heavy pressure on Tehran to de-escalate, as The Zioneer reported on June 14.
The footage has not been independently verified. It is unclear whether the firing was directed at Israeli territory or was a warning signal. The IDF has not commented. No casualties or damage have been reported, and the extent of Iran's activity near Aqaba remains unconfirmed.
