Jordan says five Iranian missiles were shot down near al-Azraq

AP reported that Jordan's state-run Petra news agency carried the military statement saying five Iranian missiles launched from Iran toward the al-Azraq area were shot down, with explosives experts examining debris and no reported injuries. Guardian earlier reported the same intercept account and a Reuters-sourced U.S. official line that nearly all Iranian missiles and drones launched over the latest hours were intercepted, with the military not aware of harm to U.S. personnel or known damage to U.S. locations.

Why this matters. The AP/Petra confirmation strengthens the Jordan portion of the regional-base retaliation record without settling U.S. damage or intercept totals. The watchpoint is whether Jordan or the U.S. publish direct debris, target, damage, or force-protection details that define the scale of the base-defense cycle.
