An American source says the United States intercepted Iranian missiles launched toward the region overnight. No details on the number of missiles, location of the interceptions, or specific targets have been reported.
An American source has stated that the United States intercepted Iranian missiles launched toward the region last night, adding a new element to the ongoing military exchanges between the US and Iran. The claim, reported by a single source and currently unverified, comes amid a broader series of overnight and early-morning attacks: The Zioneer reported earlier that the US struck Iran with 49 Tomahawk cruise missiles overnight, and that Iranian missiles were observed over southern Iraq en route to American bases. No details on where or how many interceptions occurred have been provided. The report follows a sequence of escalating US-Iran exchanges over recent days, including a US interception of a ballistic missile and drones from Iran near a base in northern Iraq on June 8, and Iranian media reports of missiles fired at US targets inside Iran earlier today. The specific timing and location of the reported interceptions remain unconfirmed.
