Dubai. Iran launched a missile attack on Jordan on Wednesday, after which tension in the Middle East has once again increased significantly. . Sirens warning of a sudden missile attack rang in the Jordanian port city of Aqaba. The Jordanian Army said that it shot down 4 missiles fired by Iran in the air, while 2 missiles fell in deserted areas. Clouds of smoke were also seen over Aqaba, videos of which have also surfaced from the nearby Israeli city of Eilat.

Meanwhile, the US Army said that it attacked Iran’s military bases for the 11th consecutive night on Wednesday. Air defense systems were activated around Iran’s capital Tehran. According to Iran’s state news agency IRNA, explosions also occurred in Bushehr, East Azerbaijan, Hamadan, Hormozgan, Khuzestan and Sistan-Baluchistan provinces.

A day earlier, Iran had attacked an oil tanker in the ‘Strait of Hormuz’, after which the crew of the ship had to abandon it. Iran also continued attacks on US allies in the region and targeted Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait. Before these attacks, Iran’s Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni had reached Pakistan. Pakistan is playing the role of mediator in this conflict and is trying to find a diplomatic solution. However, it is not yet clear what kind of new agreement can be reached to end the war.
At the same time, a report by The Wall Street Journal i.e. WSJ states that despite attacks by America and Israel for several weeks, Iran still has a large number of ballistic missiles and drones.
