Iran strikes Jordanian city near Israel as US carries out another wave of strikes

Jordan said it intercepted four missiles and four drones as U.S. strikes hit Iranian aircraft hangars and drone storage sites.

  • On Wednesday, air-raid sirens sounded in the Jordanian port city of Aqaba as Iranian forces launched missiles and drones toward the kingdom. Jordan's military intercepted four missiles and four drones, with two missiles landing in "uninhabited areas."
  • U.S. military strikes on Iran continued for the 11th consecutive night, targeting aircraft hangars and drone storage sites as the intensifying regional conflict draws in neighboring U.S. allies. This exchange reflects broader escalation across the Middle East.
  • Iran's Health Ministry claims U.S. strikes over 11 days killed 53 people, including six women and three children, while the Pentagon reports 18 U.S. troops killed. President Donald Trump stated Washington has "no interest in meeting" with Iranian leadership.
  • Tensions center on the Strait of Hormuz, where Iranian attacks have largely closed the crucial energy waterway; Benchmark Brent crude oil rose to around $94 a barrel amid supply disruption fears. Officials on both sides remain dug in.
  • U.S. officials signaled that forces could soon target an area near Iran's primary uranium enrichment facility, known as Pickaxe Mountain, according to officials, reflecting potential expansion beyond conventional operations. This marks a significant escalation threshold.
