Jordanian forces intercepted five missiles launched from Iran on Wednesday, the army said.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said their missiles had targeted a US "command centre" in Azraq, a town 100km east of Amman that is home to Jordan’s Muwaffaq Salti Air Base.
Jordan insists it does not host foreign military bases, but US and European air crews have operated out of the base in the past.
"We intercepted and shot down five missiles launched from Iran towards Azraq. The interception resulted in debris falling, but there were no casualties or material damage," the Jordanian Armed Forces said.
The army reiterated that its forces "will not allow any violation of Jordanian airspace by any party whatsoever".
