  • Iranian forces reportedly launched attacks on U.S. military positions in Jordan, according to accounts citing American officials.

  • The attacks followed reported U.S. strikes on Iranian missile launchers and came after a failed understanding between Tehran and Washington to halt hostilities.

Iranian forces reportedly struck U.S. military positions in Jordan after Washington and Israel attacked targets in Iran, adding another exchange to an unresolved conflict.

RIA Novosti cited Fox News, which in turn cited U.S. officials, in reporting the attack. The report said there had been no significant damage so far and that nearly all the missiles had been intercepted.

Press TV separately reported that Iran had fired missiles at U.S. military bases in West Asia and at American ships in the Strait of Hormuz. An Axios journalist, citing an unnamed U.S. official, reported that the United States had launched strikes believed to have targeted Iranian missile launchers on Larak Island.

The escalation followed attacks that began on Feb. 28, when the United States and Israel struck targets in Iran and Tehran retaliated. Iran and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding on ending hostilities in mid-June, but the two sides soon resumed attacks. The conflict remains unresolved.

There has been no significant damage so far, and nearly all the missiles have been intercepted.
