Iran is attacking US forces in Jordan, Fox News reports, citing a US source
Jordan’s army intercepted eight missiles as Iran said it was retaliating for U.S. strikes on launchers in the Strait of Hormuz.
- On Monday, Iran launched ballistic missiles at the King Hussein and Al-Azraq airbases in Jordan, where United States troops operate, marking a major escalation in the six-month war.
- Tehran's strike followed a U.S. operation on Sunday that destroyed two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, which Washington said were preparing to deploy sea mines; the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps vowed a "response and punishment."
- Intercepting the attack, the Jordanian Armed Forces destroyed eight ballistic missiles after they entered national airspace, while a U.S. source reported that "nearly all incoming missiles have been intercepted."
- Oil prices climbed above $90 per barrel following the exchange, as the IRGC vowed "vengeance upon criminals" and promised "punishment of the aggressor" amidst the administration's ongoing "economic warfare" strategy against Tehran.
- Amid approaching U.S. midterm elections, Democratic Senator Jack Reed criticized President Donald Trump, stating, "Six months later, not a single objective has been achieved," arguing the conflict has weakened the American global position.
