Air Raid Sirens Sound in Jordan Following US Strikes Near Iran Nuclear Site
Air raid sirens were activated in Jordan on Thursday shortly after reports emerged of a US military strike near Iran's nuclear reactor. The incident occurred amid the most extensive wave of US attacks on Iran since the ceasefire, with approximately 90 targets hit, including air defense units, missile storage sites, drones, naval assets, and military infrastructure along Iran's coast, according to US Central Command (Centcom).
Jordanian air defense systems, alongside those of the United States and its allies, were engaged in intercepting incoming missiles, drones, or rockets, utilizing systems such as the THAAD missile defense. The US Embassy in Jordan issued an immediate advisory urging residents to remain indoors due to reports of aerial threats in Jordanian airspace.
This escalation follows a significant surge in US military operations against Iran overnight. In Israel, heightened security alertness continues, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz conducting situation assessments. Despite the tensions, no changes to public directives have been announced in Israel at this time.
