Iran fires dozens of missiles in escalating regional tensions

Iran has launched dozens of ballistic missiles and drones overnight, with reports suggesting around ten struck a Jordanian military base at Azraq, marking a significant escalation in the tit-for-tat confrontation gripping the Middle East.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have issued a stark warning that if American aggression continues, all US military bases in the region will become targets. A senior American official told ABC News that dozens of missiles and drones were intercepted, but the scale and precision of Iran’s strikes have rattled regional stability.

Qatar and Pakistan are working to de-escalate the crisis, attempting to bring the United States and Iran back to the negotiating table. However, President Trump has yet to publicly respond to Iran’s latest assault, leaving Washington’s next move uncertain as tensions reach their highest point in months.

If American aggression continues, all US military bases in the region will become targets.

What this means for UK readers: Britain has significant military and diplomatic interests in the Middle East, and any US-Iran conflict could destabilise the entire region, affecting UK security and trade.
