Iran Fires Missiles at US Targets in Jordan Amid Escalating Conflict
Tensions between Iran and the US escalated on September 10, 2026, after Iranian missiles were intercepted over Jordan. The incident occurred about 44 miles north of Amman, the capital city.
The missile launches came in response to the US military's announcement that it had destroyed five Iranian oil tankers the previous day, reportedly in retaliation for attacks on American warships.
Iranian state media claimed that Tehran launched missiles towards US targets in Jordan, marking a new escalation in the ongoing conflict. However, the U.S. Central Command stated that it had no information to provide about reported strikes on a Jordanian airbase.
