Iran targets US bases; Jordan intercepts rockets

On Monday dawn, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces targeted two U.S. military bases in Jordan, namely King Hussein Base and Al Azraq Air Base, using ballistic missiles and drones. This resulted in significant damage, according to official statements. The attack was in retaliation for a U.S. strike on Iran's Larak Island. The Jordanian Army confirmed that it intercepted and destroyed eight missiles that had penetrated the atmosphere before posing a threat to civilians and property. Meanwhile, U.S. forces had targeted Iranian missile launch platforms on Larak Island that were being prepared to fire naval mines into the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. attack on the island reportedly caused casualties among civilians, according to Iran, which has vowed to respond to the assault. These developments come amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, with increasing hostility over the security of the Strait of Hormuz and military reprisals between the two sides. This escalation is part of a broader crisis that began with a war involving the United States, Israel, and Iran in early 2026, leading to the closure of the strait, ongoing exchanges of attacks, and heightened tensions.
