Jordan intercepts Iranian missiles and drones over 24 hours
Jordan's military reports shooting down five Iranian‑launched missiles and one drone over the last 24 hours as part of an ongoing regional attack campaign.
On 25 March 2026, the Jordanian Armed Forces said its air force intercepted five missiles and one drone launched from Iran over the previous 24 hours, marking another escalation in a broader wave of Iranian strikes targeting the country. Jordan has been under sustained pressure from Iranian missile and drone salvos since late February, during the wider 2026 Iran war, with the military reporting dozens of projectiles intercepted daily. Authorities stated that air defenses prevented the weapons from striking sensitive sites but warned of continued threats to national security and civilian areas. The government has reinforced border and air defenses while coordinating closely with allied militaries to monitor and counter further attacks.
