Jordan's air defenses intercepted five missiles launched from Iran early Wednesday, the country's military said.
In a statement, the Jordanian military said the missiles had been “intercepted and destroyed.”
Earlier, US Central Command said they “remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness,” and that it worked with Saudi Arabia’s forces to strike sites in Iraq that Tehran-backed militias have used to launch attacks in recent days.
In announcing the strikes in Iraq, the US warned that further attacks on American troops or Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure risked additional action.
