“You know very well that not only do we not have any enmity with your country, but we also love ‌you, the noble people, who understand the pain and oppression of the Palestinian people more than any other nation,” the IRGC said in a statement carried by Fars News.

Jordan’s armed forces said on Tuesday they intercepted and shot down four missiles that entered Jordanian airspace from Iranian territory, according to the state news agency.

US forces completed their latest wave of strikes on Iran that the US Central Command began earlier in the day at the direction of President Donald Trump.

The five hours of US strikes ​were the third consecutive night of attacks against Iran as Trump reinstated a blockade of Iranian shipping and proposed charging a 20% fee to guard the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian media ​reported strikes on a number of the cities and said four people had been wounded and rescue operations were underway.

Trump earlier told the “Hugh Hewitt Show” on ⁠Monday that Iran would be hit “very hard tonight, and we’re going to hit them hard tomorrow. And there’s not a damn thing they can do about it.”

The latest hostilities come after Iran said at ​the weekend it was closing the Strait of Hormuz, casting further doubt on an interim deal to halt the war and driving oil prices higher.
