CENTCOM — US, Jordan Intercept Iranian Ballistic Missiles; US Strikes Iran Border Town

The U.S. and Jordan intercepted multiple ballistic missiles launched by Iran at U.S. forces in the Middle East, marking a significant escalation after a brief lull in hostilities. U.S. Central Command confirmed the successful interception, while Iran's IRGC claimed it had targeted a U.S. base in Jordan. In response, U.S. President Trump threatened a "heavy" response, and reports from Iranian state media claimed a U.S. airstrike hit the border city of Piranshahr.
