Jordanian air defenses intercepted and destroyed most of 20 Iranian ballistic missiles that crossed into the kingdom's airspace on October 29, marking the latest in a series of strikes tied to the ongoing US-Iran conflict that began in February 2026. Iranian officials framed the attacks as responses to US and Israeli actions against Tehran, while Jordan coordinated closely with US forces at bases such as Al-Azraq. A October 28 phone call between the Iranian and Jordanian foreign ministers focused on regional de-escalation and a potential ceasefire amid broader diplomatic efforts involving mediators. Traders weigh these repeated Iranian attempts to hit US-linked targets in Jordan against Jordan's effective intercepts, ongoing US strikes on Iranian assets, and the risk of further escalation before key election dates in early November.
