Jordan's armed forces downed three Iranian missiles on Tuesday 21 July, with no casualties and no damage reported1.
This was a separate engagement from the one on 19 July, when Jordanian air defences stopped most of a wave fired at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. Amman publishes these counts, which is more than most governments under fire are willing to say. It hosts American air and missile defence units in its eastern desert, and it is absorbing strikes aimed at forces it houses rather than forces it commands.
A clean interception leaves nothing to report beyond the number. Jordan has now had two of them inside three days without a casualty, at the same base where American air defence soldiers were killed last week.
