Jordan has become a critical front in the escalating US-Iran confrontation after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claimed they launched long-range missiles at the US-linked Al-Azraq Air Base in eastern Jordan. Iranian media said the targets included aircraft shelters and a command center. Jordan’s military reported intercepting multiple incoming missiles, with no casualties or major damage reported.
The strike followed recent US military action against Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz, marking a sharp rise in regional tensions. Analysts say Jordan’s strategic location and security partnerships make it increasingly important in the unfolding crisis. Regional and international powers are urging restraint as fears grow over wider instability across the Middle East.
