CNN’s Robertson: It Seems That Iran Is Putting a Closer Focus on Jordan Itself, a Significant Number of Strikes There

‘It begins to paint that picture of an escalating and accuracy threat, if you will’

RUSH EXCERPT:
ROBERTSON: "It does seem to indicate that Iran is putting a much closer focus on Jordan itself, a significant number of strikes there, particularly compared to the war back in March. So over the last few days, a significant number of strikes impacting Jordan, impacting air bases there. That‘s what the Iranians say they‘ve been targeting. And as we understand from central command, those two service personnel killed one service personnel still missing in action, several others injured. But now back out of hospital. Some of them returned to duties. It begins to paint that picture of an escalating and accuracy threat, if you will, from from the Iranians and not insignificant in part, that Israel has been asked now to house more of the kc 135 stratotankers, the air tanker refueler for the fighter jets that are prosecuting the attacks in Iran at the moment, Israel being further away, if you will, from Iran, potentially these air bases where an. Airports where these stratotankers will be based here will be better protected. the United States, according to Iran, targeted in the southwest of Iran overnight, a civilian nuclear facility right in the southwest, quite close to Kuwait, but it‘s Kuwait today. And bahrain that have seen the incoming Iranian missiles that have put up their defensive batteries. And those two countries in particular, along with Jordan, seem to be, for the most part, getting the the lion‘s share of attention, if you will, from Iran‘s attacks at the moment, Jake."
