Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for firing 10 ballistic missiles at Jordan's Azraq military base. Jordan had previously reported intercepting eight missiles launched from Iran, with no casualties or damage.
The missile attacks represent a significant escalation in regional tensions, with Iran directly targeting a military base in a neighboring country and issuing threats against U.S. forces, potentially drawing the U.S. into wider conflict.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for firing 10 ballistic missiles at Jordan's Azraq military base on Thursday, according to a statement carried by state media. This follows Jordan's earlier announcement that it had intercepted eight missiles launched from Iran, reporting no casualties or damage. The Revolutionary Guards also warned that U.S. bases in the region would face targeting if "U.S. aggression" persisted. Sirens had sounded in Jordan after the initial detection of missiles in its airspace, leading to the armed forces being placed on high alert.
