Iranian state television showed what it said were ballistic missiles being fired by Iran at U.S. bases in Jordan in response to the American strikes. Jordan’s armed forces said they intercepted eight missiles that penetrated the country’s airspace early Monday in the Mideast.
U.S. military officials disputed Iran’s claim that the latest American strikes were an act of aggression, calling them a “limited, precise action” against what they said were Iranian minelaying forces.
Semiofficial news outlets in Iran reported sounds of explosions near Larak island on the strait. The Revolutionary Guard in a statement carried by Iran’s state broadcaster noted “the martyrdom and injury of several of our fighters and compatriots.”
The last time the U.S. military confirmed targeting Iran was on July 29, when it announced a “heavy wave of strikes” on dozens of Revolutionary Guard targets including coastal surveillance and defense sites.
Netanyahu son evacuated from US over ‘significant’ threat
Israel’s Shin Bet security agency says it urgently evacuated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s oldest son from the United States due to a threat against him.
In a brief statement obtained Sunday, the Shin Bet confirmed there had been a “significant threat” to Yair Netanyahu. It did not elaborate.
But the prime minister told an Israeli TV station last week that Iran had tried to kill one of his sons. His office declined to comment Sunday.
Yair Netanyahu moved to Miami in 2023 and remained out of the country for most of the time while Israel was at war in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. He has often served as an unofficial adviser to his father while sometimes sparking controversy over his attacks on critics on social media.
