Air raid sirens were heard across Jordan, including the capital city of Amman, as the United States Embassy issued a security alert warning of potential missiles, drones, or rockets in Jordanian airspace. Jordan's state television confirmed the activation of sirens. The alerts coincide with escalating hostilities between Iran and the United States, following reports of continued attacks traded between the two countries after they abandoned a memorandum of understanding. Earlier, sirens were heard in Amman following strikes on Iran by the United States and Israel. The public security directorate in Amman provided guidance on siren patterns: three intermittent sirens signify a threat, while one siren indicates the threat has passed, advising residents to seek shelter until the threat has passed.
