Sirens sound in Jordan amid an Iranian attack, signaling an expansion of current hostilities.
Reports say the target is a US base in the country.
State broadcaster Al-Mamlaka adds: “Alarm sirens sounded in Jordan on Thursday to alert citizens and urge them to follow instructions.”
The state news agency later reports, citing the government spokesperson, that missiles launched from Iran were detected in Jordanian airspace.
The spokesperson says the Jordanian Armed Forces are on high alert and ready to deal with any threat targeting the kingdom’s security.
The sirens are reportedly heard in some Israeli settlements in the Jordan Valley.
