The United States issued a security alert following an Iranian missile strike on Jordan’s Al-Azraq airbase. Authorities instructed residents to take immediate shelter indoors and follow local announcements and warnings. The US Embassy in Jordan stated it would continue monitoring the situation and provide updates as needed.
Earlier, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for launching 12 ballistic missiles at the Al-Azraq airbase. The IRGC said the attack targeted the airbase’s control center, US military F-35, F-15, and F-16 fighter jets, and other key facilities used by American forces. The report cited Al Jazeera as its source.
The alert underscores heightened regional tensions following the strike, with US authorities maintaining close observation of developments in Jordan and the broader Middle East.
