Jordanian air defense systems intercepted eight missiles in its airspace early Monday morning, the country's state media reported.

The Jordanian Armed Forces were able to successfully destroy the missiles before they posed any threat to citizens or property, according to the report.

The attack on Jordan came after the United States struck two Iranian rocket launch sites on Larak Island, a U.S. official said Sunday. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said at the time that the attack "will be responded to."

United States forces on Sunday struck two Iranian rocket launch sites on Larak Island, according to a U.S. official.

IRGC forces were observed to be preparing rockets armed with sea mines for launch into the Strait of Hormuz, according to the official.

Larak Island is a small Iranian island in the Persian Gulf at the eastern end of the Strait of Hormuz.

This attack comes after U.S. Central Command and Trump last week said that the Strait had been cleared of mines.

The official said U.S. forces are monitoring the area closely and remain prepared to protect the free flow of commerce through this essential waterway.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the U.S. military's Sunday night attack "will be responded to" and "will lead to punishment of the aggressor," according to a statement published by Iran's official news agency IRNA.

Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command, which oversees U.S. forces in the Middle East, released a brief video update Thursday evening, repeating President Donald Trump’s announcement earlier this week that U.S. forces have cleared Iranian mines from the Strait of Hormuz

"We have successfully cleared sea mines in the strait’s international shipping lanes, which were laid months ago," Cooper said in the video posted on social media.

Neither Trump nor Cooper specified how extensively Iran had mined the waterway.

Cooper said the mines were cleared through a combination of Navy divers, Navy SEALs and air power.

Cooper also said U.S. forces have overseen the safe passage of 1,500 commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, carrying a combined 750 million barrels of crude oil.

"Thousands of U.S. service members operating more than 20 warships and hundreds of aircraft have sustained our success, turning around 75 vessels attempting to run the blockade and disabling three vessels which did not comply when directed," Cooper said.

As the war in Iran reaches its six-month mark on Friday, President Donald Trump is digging into his argument that Iran is "failing" and "begging" the U.S. to make a deal.

"I don’t want to meet, they do. In fact, they are begging to make a deal," Trump said in a social media post, something he has repeatedly claimed over the course of the conflict.

"Iran Is a Failing Nation!" he added in a subsequent post.

Outgoing Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized Thursday morning that there are currently no talks happening with Iran. Trump said in a phone interview on Wednesday that he is "not in a hurry" to resume negotiations.

The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami, said Iran remains in a wartime situation and its nuclear sites have not been secured for inspection.

Eslami also said the International Atomic Energy Agency cannot request inspections until it draws up a protocol.

"The facilities that have now been subjected to military strikes were all registered with the IAEA, and the Agency has been conducting continuous inspections of them. The fact that the Agency does not protest or condemn these attacks calls its competence and independence into question," he said.

"In a situation where the Agency has no such protocol and also takes no stance, it is only the U.S. and Israel that are exerting pressure for the Agency to visit and inspect the destroyed sites. The reason for this pressure is that they want to see what has happened to these sites as a result of the military operation they conducted," Eslami said.
