The United States launched an attack on Iran on Monday, prompting Tehran to fire missiles at American military bases in Jordan and issue a threat of retaliation, according to Israeli media reports. Channel 14 correspondent Libby Alon described the events as 'the most significant' after more than a month in which Washington had refrained from direct strikes. No details on specific targets or casualties have been reported.
The United States launched a new wave of strikes against Iran on Monday, and Tehran retaliated by firing missiles at American military bases in Jordan and threatening further revenge, according to Israeli media reports. Channel 14 correspondent Libby Alon characterized the developments as the most significant in over a month, ending a period of relative US restraint.
The attack follows an earlier exchange on Monday morning (00:43 Jerusalem), when the US struck Iran's Larak Island and Iran fired 11 ballistic missiles at US bases in Jordan—eight of which were intercepted by Jordanian air defenses—as The Zioneer reported. Earlier reports documented interceptions visible from Israeli territory and the activation of Patriot defenses.
The US-Iran direct military confrontation, which escalated significantly in early June 2026, has seen repeated rounds of strikes and counter-strikes across the region, as The Zioneer has reported throughout the summer. Jordan has repeatedly been a target of Iranian missile attacks, with American facilities on its soil coming under fire. The latest exchange signals a renewed intensity after a period of reduced strikes.
No details on specific targets, damage, or casualties from either the latest US strikes or the Iranian missile salvos have been independently confirmed.
