Iranian‑Aligned Militia Drone Targeting Jordanian Air Base March 31, 2026
An Iran‑aligned Iraqi militia reportedly launched a drone that targeted a Jordanian air base overnight, triggering air‑defense interceptions and renewed regional alarm over cross‑border attacks.
On the night of March 31, 2026, an Iran‑aligned Iraqi militia group claimed responsibility for a drone strike targeting a major Jordanian air base amid the ongoing regional conflict. Jordanian air‑defense systems intercepted the incoming drone, preventing a direct hit but prompting widespread shelter‑in‑place alerts and reinforcing fears of spillover from the wider Iran‑linked confrontations. Jordanian officials condemned the attack as a violation of national sovereignty and reiterated calls for neighboring states to halt cross‑border launches from their territory. The incident has escalated regional tensions, with Jordan coordinating closely with U.S. and allied partners on air‑defense measures and risk assessments.
