Overview
- Jordan said its air defenses intercepted eight missiles launched from Iran on Thursday and reported only falling debris with no casualties, while the U.S. Embassy in Amman issued a nationwide alert telling people to seek overhead cover and shelter in place.
- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it fired 10 ballistic missiles at U.S. command-and-control facilities and the Al-Azraq area in Jordan, a claim reported by Iranian media that has not been independently verified.
- U.S. Central Command said U.S. forces struck about 90 Iranian military targets along Iran's coastline in a separate round of strikes, targeting air defenses, coastal surveillance, missile and drone stores, naval assets, and logistics infrastructure.
- Iranian officials and state media reported U.S. projectiles struck near the Bushehr nuclear plant perimeter and damaged railway bridges linking Tehran to the north, but those specific claims currently lack independent confirmation.
- The exchanges mark a collapse of the recent ceasefire extension, raise the risk of wider regional spillover that could affect bases and commercial shipping, and leave diplomatic talks and civilian safety in the region in serious doubt.
