Iran launched ballistic missiles toward US military targets in Jordan, adding another layer of tension to the widening Middle East conflict. CNN’s live coverage said Jordanian air defenses intercepted the missiles, with no immediate confirmation of casualties from the attack. The developments came as US and Saudi forces carried out coordinated strikes against Iran-backed armed groups in Iraq. According to CNN, the operation followed a series of drone attacks targeting Saudi oil facilities, though the groups struck in Iraq denied responsibility for those attacks. Tensions also increased around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes.
