Reports suggest the missiles were directed at US installations within the country, with Jordanian air defence systems scrambling to intercept the incoming projectiles. No official confirmation has been forthcoming from the US, Jordan or Iran. The latest developments come amid soaring tensions between Washington and Tehran, according to Turkish news agency Anadolu. In recent weeks, the US has carried out strikes on Iran, while Tehran has retaliated by targeting what it describes as US military facilities and equipment throughout the region. Despite Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz since the outbreak of the war, Mr Trump claimed to have full control over the vital shipping route.
