Jordan’s armed forces said air defenses intercepted and downed four missiles that entered Jordanian airspace from Iran before dawn Tuesday. The military said the interceptions caused no casualties or property damage. Royal Engineering Corps teams secured debris that fell at several locations under established technical and security procedures. The announcement came as Iran launched renewed attacks across the region after new U.S. strikes, with Jordan hosting American forces and facing repeated Iranian fire in recent days. The armed forces said they remained at the highest readiness level to protect the kingdom’s sovereignty, security and citizens.
