Iran has launched a missile attack on Jordan

Not mosques; missiles

“Seek overhead cover and shelter in place immediately,” the embassy warned.

On Thursday, Iran directed missiles toward Jordan. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps asserted that its forces had targeted the U.S.-operated Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. This strike forms part of a confrontation between Washington and Tehran that now spreads steadily across the region.

Jordan’s military reported that it had intercepted eight Iranian missiles before they could reach their intended targets within the kingdom.The U.S. Embassy in Amman responded with a nationwide security alert. It spoke of “missiles, drones, or rockets” in Jordanian airspace and instructed American citizens to take immediate shelter.

“Reports indicate missiles, drones, or rockets are in Jordanian airspace. Seek overhead cover and shelter in place immediately,” the embassy said.The launches caused a temporary halt in air travel.

All flights at Amman’s Queen Alia International Airport were delayed while Jordan dealt with the aerial threat.This assault on Jordan followed a wider Iranian retaliatory operation launched earlier the same day.

Tehran declared that it had sent a large barrage of missiles and explosive drones against U.S. military sites in Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Iranian sources claimed successful strikes on an aerial early warning system in Qatar, fuel storage facilities in Bahrain, and a Patriot missile battery in Kuwait. Iranian state media described the targets as “key infrastructure and facilities” linked to the American military presence across the Gulf.

At the same time, Reuters noted a drone strike on a camp belonging to the Iranian Kurdish opposition northeast of Erbil in Iraq. Another front opened in a conflict that expands with alarming speed.

These latest attacks arrived while the United States pressed its own military campaign against Iran. Iranian media described explosions in several cities, among them Kerman, Bushehr, Asaluyeh, and Bandar Abbas. The deputy governor of Bushehr province was quoted as saying that U.S. projectiles had struck areas surrounding the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

Several locations in the province, including the perimeter of the nuclear facility itself, came under fire in the most recent wave of American strikes.This widening exchange of blows follows consecutive nights of U.S. operations against Iranian military infrastructure. It comes after Tehran first targeted commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

The pattern now raises grave and entirely justified fears that the conflict is sliding into a broader regional war.

IDF hits 'critical' Iranian missile manufacturing sites in Tehran

The Israel Air Force struck Iranian weapon manufacturing sites in Tehran overnight between Saturday and Sunday, the IDF said on Sunday.

Targets of the strike included a central site used by Iran's Defense Ministry to manufacture "critical" components for ballistic missiles, one of only two such sites in Iran, said the IDF.

Additional targets included various weapon production and storage facilities, as well as a drone engine production facility and an air defense development facility. The IDF struck production and storage sites for aerial defense systems and ballistic missiles, 

Earlier on Saturday, the IAF completed a wide-scale wave of strikes in Iran, targeting regime infrastructure in Tehran, the IDF announced on Sunday, destroying several temporary command centers and blowing up their commanders into convenient bitesize kibbles and bits.

The statement noted that the IDF had identified the relocation of Iranian command centers to mobile units in recent days, after most of its permanent command centers were struck by the IDF over the past month. Commanders, who remain alive and have claimed to love death more than the West loves life, are shaking in the sandals.

The strikes, which were based on military intelligence, additionally targeted dozens of ballistic missile production and storage facilities, said the IDF, as well as Iranian aerial defense systems and observation posts.

Israel strikes Iranian nuclear development facilities

The IDF confirmed on Friday an attack against Iran’s Khandab heavy water reactor in Arak, as well as a uranium enrichment facility in Ardakan.

The attack, which involved over 50 IAF fighter jets guided by IDF intelligence, completed strikes targeting the Iranian terror regime's infrastructure across three areas simultaneously, the IDF said.

According to Iranian state media, the enrichment facility in Ardakan produced yellowcake, a concentrated uranium powder used in the early stages of nuclear fuel production.

Additionally, a missile struck the Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran on Friday, according to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, with no casualties, material damage, or technical disruptions being reported.
