Iran-Krieg: Iranische Medien melden Raketenangriffe auf Jordanien

Iran reportedly launched a barrage of rockets at US military bases in Jordan, according to media reports. The news was first shared by government-aligned Press TV in the early hours of the morning, with the act being a retaliation for US military strikes on Iranian oil tankers. Iran's state news agency, Tasnim, confirmed several explosions occurred at two US bases in Jordan.

Initially, these reports could not be independently verified. The US military and Jordanian authorities did not make any statements at first. The US military announced the attacks on multiple Iranian tankers were in retaliation for Iranian ballistic missile strikes on a US warship. Prior to this, Iranian media reported several explosions near Charg island in the Persian Gulf and close to the port city of Jask along the Strait of Hormuz. Charg is the main export terminal for Iranian oil in the Persian Gulf.
