The conflict between the United States and Iran intensified after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reportedly launched 12 ballistic missiles at the Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan, targeting U.S. F-35, F-15, and F-16 fighter jets stationed there. The strike came in retaliation for recent U.S. attacks on Iranian military facilities. Jordanian air defenses reportedly intercepted several missiles, while neighboring Gulf nations increased security measures amid fears of further escalation. The attack has heightened concerns over a broader regional war, disrupted air traffic across parts of the Middle East, and renewed worries about global energy security and stability. (PC: Reuters)
