Jordan's military says it intercepted eight missiles that entered its airspace during ongoing missile attacks originating from Iran, according to a statement reported via social media. The interceptions come amid escalating regional tensions tied to Tehran's aggression toward Israel, with Jordan acting to defend its own airspace from projectiles passing through the corridor. Officials did not immediately specify the origin point of each missile beyond attributing the broader barrage to Iran's regime. The incident underscores how neighboring states are being drawn into the fallout from Iran's missile campaign. BreakFirst will continue to monitor official statements from Amman and allied governments as more details emerge on the scale and target of the intercepted missiles.
