Since the attack on Iran, 240 rockets and drones have been launched against Jordan

Since Israel and the US began their attacks on Iran, 240 rockets and drones have been aimed at Jordan, most of which were intercepted.

On Saturday, the Jordanian army reported that since February 28, the date of the Israeli and US attacks on Iran, a total of 240 rockets and drones have been launched against Jordan. The Jordanian royal air forces successfully intercepted and destroyed 222 of these aerial attacks; however, 18 rockets and drones were not intercepted. This situation highlights the ongoing volatility in the region and the direct consequences of international military conflicts affecting neighboring countries.

In the past week alone, Jordan faced 36 rockets and drones directed at its territory, with the army's press office noting that of these, 14 rockets and 21 drones were intercepted and destroyed by the kingdom's defense forces. Yet, one attack managed to breach the defenses, illustrating the precarious security situation in Jordan amidst escalating tensions. The situation is further complicated by the fact that Iran has been retaliating against countries it perceives as complicit in the US and Israeli military actions.

The escalation of attacks against Jordan underscores the broader implications of the conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the US. Iran has been targeting US interests in the region, and the spillover effects of this conflict threaten not only military but also civilian infrastructure throughout the area. As tensions rise, Jordan's role as a regional ally and its defense capabilities will be crucial in maintaining stability in the face of this ongoing threat.
