Why it matters
The escalation of missile attacks by Iran against regional neighbors poses a significant threat to Middle Eastern security and U.S. military interests in the area.

The kingdom made the announcement on its state-run Petra news agency.
“The incident resulted in zero casualties or material damage,” Petra said, quoting the Jordanian military.
