Iran Launches Missile Attack on Jordan, Witnesses in Northern Israel Report
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched ballistic missiles targeting Jordan on September 4, 2026. Residents in the Golan Heights and near the Sea of Galilee reported observing jet trails and explosions in the sky over Jordanian territory. Iranian media, citing "military sources," claimed the strikes hit an American base in Jordan, specifically targeting aircraft hangars and barracks.
No official comments have been released from Jordanian or American officials regarding the incident. This event follows a recent escalation in regional tensions. Earlier, Iran attempted to target tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting a U.S. strike on missile sites on Larak Island. The recent missile launches into Jordan and other Arab nations, accompanied by threats of regional retaliation, may be linked to these preceding events, though the exact provocation for the latest strike remains unclear.
