Iran fired missiles into Jordan as it targeted US military infrastructure across the Middle East after the American military carried out another wave of strikes on Iran, including attacks that Iran said hit near the perimeter area of the Bushehr nuclear plant.

Tit-for-tat attacks have repeatedly threatened the shaky ceasefire between the US and Iran since it was first introduced in April, but hostilities have steadily escalated in recent days, and continued to do so on Thursday, when Iran targeted Bahrain — home to the US Navy’s 5th Fleet headquarters — Kuwait, and Qatar with multiple rounds of missile fire.

After that, Iran fired 10 ballistic missiles at Jordan’s Azraq military base on Thursday, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said in a statement carried by state media.

Jordan said earlier on that it had intercepted eight missiles launched from Iran, with no casualties or damage reported, according to the state news agency. Sirens had sounded in Jordan, which hosts US troops and aircraft.

The Revolutionary Guards said US bases in the region would be targeted if “US aggression” was repeated.

Meanwhile in Iran, the state-run IRNA news agency quoted a local official as accusing the US of carrying out strikes near the country’s Bushehr nuclear power plant.

The official, Ehsan Jahanian, said the strike came around noon, hours after the US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said it had ended its strikes on Iran.

The deputy governor of Bushehr province told state media that several locations in the province, including the perimeter of the nuclear facility, were hit in the attacks.

CENTCOM did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Hours earlier, US President Donald Trump said recent Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz signaled the end of a fragile ceasefire and threatened to escalate the conflict if they didn’t stop. That raised concerns that the region could tip back into a war that would engulf several countries and could halt energy shipments through the strait that are crucial for the global economy.

In Iran, the two days of American airstrikes have killed at least 14 people and wounded another 78, Iran’s Health Ministry said Thursday — most of those reportedly members of the armed forces.

Iran’s military also said it targeted sites in Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain with one-way attack drones, state media reported, in retaliation.

The Iranian army said it had targeted a Patriot missile interceptor system in Kuwait, an early warning system in Qatar, and fuel tanks in Bahrain with........
