JORDANIAN AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM INTERCEPTING IRANIAN MISSILES (TWO SHOTS)DAMASCUS, SYRIA — SEPT. 9, 2026: Missiles fired from Iran were intercepted mid-air by Jordan's air defense system over the Syrian capital Damascus on Wednesday, Sept. 9, amid regional escalations between the US and Iran. US forces destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted a US Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice over the past two days, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Tuesday. The developments came amid heightened tensions between Iran and the US over the Strait of Hormuz, despite the signing of a memorandum in June that envisioned a deal to reopen the strategic waterway as a prelude to a wider peace deal.
