Jordan Intercepts 13 Iranian Missiles and Drones in Largest Salvo Yet
🛡️ AMMAN — Iran just fired 13 missiles at a US-allied monarchy, again. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Thirteen missiles — the largest Iranian salvo at Jordan yet — signals Tehran expanding volume, not just sustaining pressure. Jordan hosts CENTCOM assets; a successful penetration forces a US response beyond the current campaign. Each intercept also burns Jordanian Patriot inventory Washington struggles to replenish. Variable: whether Amman now formally requests additional US air defense, pulling more resources into the theater.
