Iran has launched a fresh wave of retaliatory missiles toward United States bases in the Middle East, with projectiles reported entering Jordanian airspace as air defenses rushed to intercept them.
Early morning explosions were also reported as residents in affected areas woke to sounds of aerial attacks and interception fire.
According to reports from the region, the attacks were part of a broader Iranian strike pattern targeting US military sites across Jordan, Iraq, Bahrain and Kuwait on July 24, 2026.
Jordanian forces said they detected incoming missiles in its airspace and engaged them immediately, while US Patriot systems were activated to counter the threat.
Iran has framed the assaults as retaliation for earlier US strikes, and regional tension has continued to escalate alongside repeated missile and drone exchanges.
The footage circulating from the scene shows bright streaks across the twilight sky, consistent with missile or drone activity during the latest barrage.
