Jordan intercepts multiple inbound Iranian missiles and drones

Jordan’s military reported intercepting seven missiles and six drones on Friday and said no casualties or material damage were reported. The statement came amid ongoing Iran-to-allied-front attacks tied to the U.S.-Iran strike cycle.

Why this matters. Direct intercepts in Jordan show the conflict is spreading beyond Iraq and Bahrain into the Arabian Peninsula, increasing alliance exposure and forcing continuous air-defense spending at multiple fronts.
