Jordanian air defenses shoot down 5 missiles launched from Iran, state-run news agency says

Jordan’s air defenses intercepted five missiles launched from Iran, following a U.S. military strike on Iranian targets in response to an earlier attack on a U.S. base in Jordan. The U.S. targeted Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities, escalating tensions and raising the risk of broader conflict. Iran reported casualties from the strikes, while the U.S. and Saudi Arabia had previously targeted Iran-backed militias in Iraq. Meanwhile, fires broke out on two natural gas vessels in Egypt, with no clear attribution for the attack. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges in de-escalating a conflict that has significant global economic implications and is unpopular in the U.S. QUESTION: How might the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran impact global economic stability and international relations?
