DUBAI, Jul 19 : Israel's military says Iran has launched missiles toward neighbouring Jordan and warned that fire could spill over across its borders.

The military warned people on Sunday to expect the first air raid sirens in weeks. It said Iran launched missiles toward the nearby Jordanian port city of Aqaba.

Israel, which joined the United States in launching the war with airstrikes on Iran on February 28, has refrained from reentering the fighting since it reignited.

Since its ceasefire with the United States collapsed last week, Iran has focused its attacks on US-allied Arab states in the Gulf as well as Jordan, rather than Israel. But an Iranian strike on Israeli territory could risk widening the conflict once again. (AP)
