Explosions were heard and interceptions were recorded in Jordan early Monday morning, following a launch attributed to Iran.

The explosions came after Iranian media reported that missiles were launched from Iran towards US bases in the kingdom.

A US source told Fox News that “nearly all incoming missiles have been intercepted at this point."

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for the missile fire, announcing that it had targeted the US bases Al-Azraq and King Hussein in Jordan. According to the statement, the attacks were carried out using ballistic missiles.

The Jordanian military announced that it had intercepted eight missiles that entered the country's airspace.

On Sunday evening, the IRGC threatened retaliation following a US strike on Iranian military targets on Larak Island that reportedly killed two people and wounded two others.

A US official confirmed to Axios that American forces carried out the strike to prevent Iranian forces from deploying sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The operation marked the first known US strike inside Iran since late July, when President Donald Trump paused a two-week US military campaign in the strategic waterway.

"Earlier today US forces struck two Iranian launchers on Larak Island. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces were observed preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz," a US official told Axios.

The official added that US forces are "monitoring the area closely and remain prepared to protect the free flow of commerce" through the strait.

Tasnim, an Iranian news agency affiliated with the IRGC, reported that the attack was carried out by a drone and that two people were killed and two others wounded.

In a statement quoted by Iran's IRNA news agency, the IRGC vowed retaliation, saying, "The terrorist enemy's aggression on Larak Island will be met with punishment for the aggressor."

The IRGC further accused the United States and Israel of attempting to reassert their influence in the region.

"The American-Zionist adversary, once more acting out of frustration over its domestic challenges and waning influence in the region, aims to resurrect its malevolent presence and sway public perception. "In an act of aggression, it attacked Larak Island, resulting in the martyrdom and injury of several citizens."

The US strike comes amid heightened tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for international commercial shipping and energy supplies.

Last week, Trump said that the US Navy had cleared all mines from the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz.

"I have just been informed by the United States Navy that all mines have been removed and/or detonated from within the International Waters of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has been notified that any ship or boat placing new mines will be immediately and systematically destroyed," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He added, "Through Space Force, we are watching every square inch of the Strait, as we are, also, with Pickaxe Mountain and the already destroyed three other Nuclear sites. There is a Zero Tolerance policy on mine placement in full force and effect."

Later, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said that Tehran considers itself to still be at war and warned that the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until several conditions are met.

"We are still in a state of war, and the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed," Gharibabadi said, in comments quoted by Iranian media, while stressing that reopening the strategic waterway would require an end to the conflict on all fronts, the lifting of the blockade and a resolution of the situation in Yemen.

"The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will only happen in exchange for ending the war on all fronts, lifting the blockade, and resolving the situation in Yemen."

He also linked the reopening of the strait to commitments made by Washington under the memorandum of understanding signed by the sides in June.

"We told Pakistan's Army Chief that reopening the Strait of Hormuz depends on America fulfilling its commitments under the memorandum of understanding."

Gharibabadi further warned that Iran could take military action before being attacked.

"Why should we always wait for America to attack? We can take preemptive action."
