Jordan’s Armed Forces shot down five Iranian missiles on June 10, targeting the al-Azraq area in eastern Jordan. No casualties or property damage were reported, though debris from the intercepted projectiles fell onto Jordanian territory.
The target area is home to the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, a facility that hosts US military personnel and assets.
What happened in Azraq
The five missiles were launched from Iranian territory and tracked toward al-Azraq, a relatively remote area in Jordan’s eastern desert. Jordan’s military intercepted and destroyed all five before they could reach their targets.
This wasn’t an isolated event. Jordan has intercepted hundreds of projectiles since the broader conflict escalated in late February 2026, when US and Israeli forces conducted military strikes on Iranian soil. Iran has since responded with a sustained campaign of missile and drone attacks aimed at US and allied interests across the Middle East.
