Jordan said Wednesday it shot down three missiles launched by Iran targeting the kingdom.

The Iranian attack, earlier claimed by Tehran, comes as the US reimposed a naval blockade on the Islamic Republic over its attacks on ships trying to travel through the Strait of Hormuz.

Jordan's military made the statement on the kingdom's state-run Petra news agency.
