Multiple explosions were seen over the Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan after Iran launched ballistic missiles targeting a US military facility near Al Azraq. Video footage circulating online showed repeated blasts over the base, highlighting the latest escalation in the US-Iran conflict. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said the strike was carried out in retaliation for US attacks that destroyed five Iranian oil tankers. Jordanian authorities said its air defences intercepted most of the incoming missiles, with no casualties reported. The latest exchange has heightened fears of a wider regional conflict and further disruption around the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
