Missiles fired from Iran into Jordan in the past few hours are false, reports Tasnim citing a military source
Denials of this kind are a standard feature of escalation episodes around Iran: an initial strike claim from one side's media, followed within hours by a denial carried through a state-affiliated outlet on the other.

- A military source told Tasnim News Agency that, contrary to the claims of the Israeli Channel 14, no missiles were fired from Shiraz by the Iranian armed forces in the past few hours.
Tasnim functions as a semi-official channel for the Iranian security establishment, so a denial sourced to a military figure through it carries more weight than a foreign ministry statement but less than independent verification; on previous occasions such denials have been both accurate and, in other instances, a holding position ahead of an acknowledged response. The market-relevant pattern in past episodes is that crude and gold fade the initial headline on the denial, then reprice only when satellite imagery, airspace closures, or official confirmation from a third party settles the facts. The distinction that matters is between a denial of the launch itself and a denial of attribution, since the former closes the story while the latter leaves it open. Worth watching are any NOTAM or airspace disruptions over Iran, Iraq, or Jordan, statements from Jordanian or Western officials, and whether the originating Israeli outlet stands by or walks back its report. Until one of those confirms or kills the claim, this is fog-of-war traffic rather than a tradeable event.
