@hewadpress4: 🔴 Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles at U.S. Bases in Jordan; U.S. Says Attack Intercepted 📍AMMAN, Jordan — August 31, 2026 | HewadPress Iran has launched ballistic missiles at U.S. military positions in Jordan, marking a sharp escalation after American forces struck Iranian military launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted the King Hussein and Al Azraq bases in retaliation for the U.S. attack on Larak Island, according to Iranian state media. Jordan’s military said its air-defense systems intercepted eight missiles that entered Jordanian airspace early Monday and destroyed them before they could threaten civilians or property. A U.S. source told media that nearly all incoming Iranian missiles were intercepted and that there had been no significant impact from the attack in initial assessments. The retaliation came hours after U.S. forces struck two IRGC launchers on Larak Island. U.S. Central Command said Iranian forces had been preparing to launch rockets carrying sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC said the American strike killed and wounded several Iranian fighters and civilians, but did not provide an exact casualty toll. Iran claimed its retaliatory attack caused heavy damage to military infrastructure at the bases, but that claim has not been independently verified. The exchange marks the first direct U.S.-Iran military confrontation in weeks and raises renewed fears of a broader escalation across the region. HewadPress | Truth That Matters
