Last update: 8 hours agoUS-Iran Escalation: The US says it is on its 12th straight night of strikes on Iran, warning it will hit “one bridge or power plant” each time Iran attacks ships in the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran and the IRGC trade threats and claim attacks on US bases, including in eastern Jordan. Red Sea Shipping Risk: Houthis claim missile and drone strikes on two Saudi oil tankers, raising fears of a wider chokehold on Red Sea routes. Jordan on Alert: EU aviation authorities and other travel advisories warn airlines and travelers to avoid Jordan airspace amid the conflict. Jerash Festival & Royal Engagement: Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan, deputising for King Abdullah, opened the 40th Jerash Festival for Culture and Arts, while Crown Prince Hussein met Karak youth on jobs, education, tourism and regional security. Refugee Funding Gap: UNHCR in Jordan says it has received about $77.7m for the first half of 2026, leaving a roughly $202m shortfall for refugee operations. Local Governance: Jordan’s Jerash festival and youth meetings sit alongside a separate international governance story, while the week’s dominant regional thread remains the US-Iran war’s spillover risk.
