Iran fired eight missiles toward Jordan on Thursday in what reports described as an attack aimed at a US military base located in the country. Jordanian air defenses successfully intercepted all eight projectiles before they could cause any harm.
According to Jordan’s state news agency, warning sirens rang out across the kingdom before all missiles were brought down. No injuries or property damage were reported. State broadcaster Al-Mamlaka noted, “Alarm sirens sounded in Jordan on Thursday to alert citizens and urge them to follow instructions.”
Al-Mamlaka also reported that the Jordanian Armed Forces were placed on high alert and stood ready to respond to any threat to the nation’s security. Reports indicated that warning sirens were also heard in a number of Israeli communities located in the Jordan Valley.
At the same time, Iranian officials confirmed that the United States carried out additional military strikes on targets within Iran. Iran’s deputy governor of Bushehr province told state media that a US projectile struck the area surrounding the Bushehr nuclear power plant. The official added that several locations throughout Bushehr province, including areas near the nuclear facility, were hit during the attacks.
In northern Iran, the Fars news agency reported that overnight US strikes caused damage to the Aq Takeh Khan railway bridge in Golestan province. Fars described the bridge as part of a rail corridor linking Iran with China and Russia through Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan. The agency noted that the route had grown in strategic importance during this year’s US blockade of Iran’s Gulf ports and had also been used by Russia to move cargo into Iran since late 2025.
