Jordan Says Nearly 300 Iranian Missiles, Drones Have Targeted Its Territory

Jordan's military said Saturday that around 300 Iranian missiles and drones have been launched toward its territory since the start of the regional conflict, underscoring the growing spillover from the war.

Mustafa al-Hiyari, spokesperson for the Jordanian armed forces, said 281 missiles and drones had targeted Jordan, with 261 of them intercepted and destroyed by the country's air defense systems.

Jordanian officials accused Iran and some allied regional groups of targeting the kingdom“directly and without justification,” as the conflict increasingly affects neighboring states beyond the main battlefront.

Jordan also reiterated that it has not allowed its airspace to be used to launch attacks on any country since the war began, seeking to stress its neutrality amid rising regional pressure.

Authorities said the attacks have wounded 29 people and caused damage to homes, vehicles and public property, even though most of the incoming threats were intercepted before impact.

Jordan has repeatedly found itself caught in the path of regional escalation because of its location between Israel, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The kingdom has long relied on close security coordination with Western and Arab allies to defend its airspace during periods of heightened instability.

Meanwhile, Gulf and neighboring states have increasingly warned that the conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States is spilling beyond military targets and threatening civilian infrastructure and public safety across the region.

Jordan's latest figures highlight how even countries not directly involved in the war are increasingly facing its consequences, as missile and drone attacks widen the conflict's regional footprint.
