Jordanian
authorities cleared King Hussein International Airport and Aqaba seaport early
Saturday due to a credible security threat, as noted in a U.S. Embassy alert.
Hours
later, Israel's military spotted Iranian missiles heading toward the city, with
Jordanian and Israeli defenses intercepting most, and one landing harmlessly
with no casualties reported.
The incident underscores Aqaba's vulnerability near Israel and the Red Sea, amid ongoing regional tensions involving Iran, Israel, and U.S. interests. Travelers should monitor local updates as flights face disruptions.
