Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it attacked a US military base in Jordan with ballistic missiles and killed a large number of American forces, according to Reuters. The United States has not immediately commented on the reported attack, and Jordanian authorities have also made no immediate statement.
Jordanian state television reported that air-raid alerts sounded in the Mafraq and Aqaba regions. Al Jazeera reported that three missiles were intercepted over southern Syria while heading toward Jordan.
The reported Iranian strike came after the US military attacked several targets in Iran near the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday evening. Iranian state television said at least four people, including a child, were killed at a wedding near the Iranian city of Sirik. More than 50 people were wounded, according to the Red Crescent via AFP.
