No casualties were reported from Jordan’s interception of the missiles, the news agency quoted the spokesman for the country’s armed forces as saying.
The latest barrage came after the U.S. partnered with Saudi Arabia to strike Iran-backed militias in neighboring Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters and six Iranian advisers on Wednesday.
Saudi Arabia had accused the Iraqi militias of firing drones against its oil facilities over the past days.
Before the latest eruption, mediators had expressed optimism about bringing the U.S. and Iran back to the negotiating table.
Saudi Arabia is also locked in a renewed conflict with the Houthis.
