Jordan says its air defenses shot down 3 Iranian missiles

Jordan said its air defenses shot down three Iranian missiles as regional fighting spread and U.S. forces reported two soldiers killed in earlier attacks.

  • On Sunday, Israeli authorities announced Iran launched missiles toward Aqaba, Jordan, following a warning from the United States Embassy in Amman; Jordan shot down three missiles, with a fourth falling in a remote area.
  • The United States military launched airstrikes Sunday targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to retaliate for the killing of two American service members in Jordan, escalating a weeklong struggle over the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Iranian authorities reported at least 50 people killed and 517 wounded in United States strikes, while Kuwait activated air defenses Sunday after attacks on its desalination plants caused fires.
  • The United States warned citizens to avoid air and sea ports in Aqaba due to a "specific and credible threat," while Iran's joint military command warned that American "covetousness, bullying, totalitarianism or brutality" would meet with a "devastating response."
  • Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned of "unforgettable lessons" if the United States continues attacks, as the Revolutionary Guard recently redirected or disabled five ships attempting passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
