Since the United States and Israel launched war on Iran on February 28, the Islamic republic has struck countries across the region, including Jordan, targeting US interests in the region.
Jordan has recorded no deaths since the start of the war, with health authorities previously reporting 29 injured, all of whom have since been discharged from hospital.
