Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it carried out ballistic missile strikes on US infrastructure at the King Hussein and al-Azraq bases in Jordan, describing the attack as retaliation for a US strike on Iranian missile launchers on Larak Island. Jordan's army said its air defenses intercepted eight missiles that breached the kingdom's airspace at dawn, and a Fox News report citing a US source said nearly all incoming missiles were intercepted with no significant impact so far. The strikes mark a sharp escalation in the direct US-Iran military confrontation. Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament's national security commission, warned of further retaliation against the US, saying any additional attack would be met with a response that is 'devastating, more painful, and instructive,' underscoring fears of continued tit-for-tat strikes across the region.
