Iran fired eight missiles toward Jordan on Thursday in what reports described as an attack aimed at a US military base in the country. Jordanian air defenses successfully shot down all eight missiles before they could cause any harm.
Jordan’s state news agency confirmed that every missile was intercepted after warning sirens rang out across the country. No injuries or property damage were reported. State broadcaster Al-Mamlaka stated, “Alarm sirens sounded in Jordan on Thursday to alert citizens and urge them to follow instructions.”
According to the broadcaster, the Jordanian Armed Forces were placed on high alert and stood ready to respond to any threat to national security. Reports also indicated that the warning sirens could be heard in several 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’s borders.
Iran’s deputy governor of Bushehr province told state media that a US projectile hit the area surrounding the Bushehr nuclear power plant. The official indicated that multiple locations throughout Bushehr province — including areas near the nuclear facility — were struck during the attacks.
In a separate development, Iran’s Fars news agency reported that overnight US strikes caused damage to the Aq Takeh Khan railway bridge in Golestan province, located in northern Iran.
Fars described the bridge as a component of a rail corridor linking Iran to China and Russia by way of Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan. The agency noted that the route has grown increasingly vital during this year’s US blockade of Iran’s Gulf ports, and has also been used by Russia to move cargo into Iran since late 2025.
