Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles at US Base in Jordan, All Intercepted Successfully

Early Wednesday morning, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched multiple ballistic missiles targeting a United States military base in Jordan. The US forces successfully intercepted and destroyed all 20 incoming missiles using their air defense systems. The attack was described by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) as a surprise attempt against American troops stationed in the Middle East. Following the missile strike, US forces in the region were placed on high alert.

The missile intercepts were captured on video and shared on social media, showing the defensive response over the Al-Azraq area in Jordan. Residents in the Israeli city of Eilat also reported witnessing missile interceptions in the night sky. Iranian state news agency Fars cited Arab sources reporting loud explosions in Jordan, likely from the missile defense operations.

In response to the attack, Iranian official Seyed Mohammad Marandi, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards and part of Iran's negotiation team, tweeted a threatening message stating that Iran is fully prepared for a comprehensive war. This escalation highlights rising tensions between Iran and US forces in the region, with potential implications for regional security.

The incident underscores the ongoing volatility in the Middle East and the readiness of US military defenses to counter missile threats. The situation remains tense as both sides signal preparedness for further conflict.
