Jordan's Armed Forces intercepted at least eight Iranian missiles that passed through its airspace, triggering air raid sirens across several cities. Videos circulating online captured the interceptions lighting up the night sky as tensions between Iran and its regional adversaries intensified. The Jordanian military said it acted to protect the country's sovereignty and civilian safety, stressing that it would not allow its airspace to be used in the conflict. The incident comes amid escalating hostilities involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, raising fears of a wider regional war and increasing security concerns across the Middle East.
