The Israeli defense forces reported that rockets were recently launched from Iran toward Akaba, a Jordanian city situated near Israeli territory. The army stated that this incident could potentially lead to strikes within Israeli territory. Shortly after the reported attack, it was further announced that Israeli and Jordanian forces had successfully captured an Iranian-launched rocket.
In related developments, sirens were sounded in Amman, the capital of Jordan, according to an AFP journalist. State television in Jordan, “Al-Mamlaka,” also reported that an air and sea port within the country had been placed under a state of air danger following the Iranian strikes. Earlier, the U.S.
embassy in Jordan had issued an announcement indicating that the country’s institutions had evacuated the Akaba air and sea ports due to a real threat. However, the Jordanian government subsequently denied the veracity of these reports. Adding to the regional tensions, Kuwait also announced that Iran had declared the nation to be in a state of air danger.
These events highlight heightened security concerns in the region following the reported launch of rockets from Iran targeting Jordanian areas near Israeli borders.
