The US military says it intercepted a salvo of Iranian missiles targeting its troops stationed in Jordan. The attack occurred during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the White House, following a five-day pause in the conflict.
The attack was sudden. While Benjamin Netanyahu was in Washington meeting with the US administration, Iran launched a barrage of missiles at American military positions in Jordan. The US military reported that it had successfully intercepted all of the projectiles.
This missile launch broke a five-day lull in hostilities. The timing, coinciding with the Israeli prime minister's visit to the White House, did not go unnoticed by observers.
No casualty figures were immediately released following the interception. The precise circumstances of the attack and Tehran's stated motives were still being assessed at the time the first information became available.
