Iran's missile and drone fire since the war resumed on August 30, 2026 has been aimed at the U.S. bases around it rather than at Israel. According to CENTCOM, U.S. forces struck two launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz on August 30 as IRGC units prepared to fire rockets carrying sea mines; the IRGC answered with ballistic missiles and drones at the King Hussein and Al-Azraq air bases in Jordan and a drone at a base in the UAE, which the UAE said it intercepted. On September 1 Jordan's armed forces reported 13 Iranian ballistic missiles, 10 of them intercepted and three falling in open areas, with sirens in Mafraq and Aqaba; Bahrain and Kuwait reported Iranian drones and activated their air defenses; and Iranian media reported the IRGC striking Prince Hassan Air Base and a naval site near Aqaba. The same day CENTCOM said it had struck IRGC air-defense sites, radars, maritime assets, mine-laying capabilities, communications sites and, per Israeli and U.S. reporting, anti-ship cruise-missile launchers — around 100 targets according to U.S. officials — while Iranian state media reported a strike on Jiroft airport and civilian casualties at a wedding in Kuhestak. On September 2 the IRGC claimed missile and drone strikes on U.S. facilities in Erbil, where a Shahed-136 was reported to have hit an installation at the airport with two more intercepted. Reports of each launch, interception and strike on a launch site appear below as the tracker processes them; the full stream is in the Iran war live updates.
This page filters the map to reports the tracker classifies as missile or drone activity — one category in the underlying data, because most reporting describes the two together. Each item carries the location the source gave, the time it was first and last reported, how many sources describe it and whether any of them reported an interception; the tracker keeps the source's wording and does not independently confirm a launch, a hit or a shoot-down.
Interception claims come from the defending side and are recorded as such. Israel's layered system — Arrow 2 and 3, David's Sling and Iron Dome, with U.S. THAAD batteries and ship-launched SM-3 interceptors alongside — handled the Iranian salvos of February to April and June 2026; Jordan and the Gulf states have reported intercepting missiles and drones with Patriot and other batteries since August 30, and Iraqi and U.S. forces have reported drones downed over Erbil. Analysts at RUSI and CSIS have warned that Arrow and THAAD interceptor stocks were being drawn down faster than they can be rebuilt, which is one reason the number intercepted versus the number that fell in open ground is worth reading in each report. U.S. and Israeli officials were reported in March to have put the number of Iranian launchers destroyed or disabled in the first weeks of the campaign at more than 300; the tracker lists strikes on launch infrastructure with the same timestamp and source treatment as the launches themselves.
Is Iran firing missiles right now? Yes, as of September 2, 2026, according to public reporting: since the U.S. strike on Larak Island on August 30 Iran has fired ballistic missiles and drones at U.S. bases in Jordan (13 missiles on September 1, 10 intercepted per Jordan's military), the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait, and the IRGC has claimed strikes on U.S. facilities in Erbil, Iraq. The current fire has been aimed at those bases rather than at Israel. The list above shows the newest reports with timestamps so you can judge what is current.
Where are Iran's missiles launched from? In the current phase the reporting names the Strait of Hormuz coast — Larak Island, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm and Jask — for anti-ship missiles and the rockets used to lay mines, and Iranian territory generally for the ballistic missiles fired at Jordan and the Gulf. Earlier in the war the IDF and CENTCOM described launch sites and underground bases around Kermanshah, Tabriz, Isfahan and Shiraz, and U.S. and Israeli officials were reported to have put the number of launchers hit at more than 300. Each map item keeps the launch location its source gave; many reports only name the target.
How many Iranian missiles are intercepted? It varies by salvo and by who is reporting. Jordan's armed forces said 10 of 13 ballistic missiles were intercepted on September 1, 2026 with three falling in remote areas; the UAE and Bahrain reported intercepting the drones sent at them; Iraqi reporting described one Shahed-136 hitting Erbil airport and two shot down. In the larger February–June salvos against Israel, interception rates reported by the IDF and U.S. forces were high but never total. The tracker records what each source said and flags an item as intercepted only when a source reported it.
What counts as a missile or drone report on this map? Any report the tracker classifies as missile or drone activity: ballistic and cruise missile launches, anti-ship missile strikes, Shahed-type drone and loitering-munition attacks, interceptions and air-defense activations, and strikes on launchers or launch sites. Missiles and drones share one category because most reporting describes salvos of both together. Airstrikes by aircraft, naval clashes and ground movements are tracked in their own categories and appear on the main map.
How long does an Iranian missile take to reach Israel or the Gulf? Israeli and international reporting has put the flight time of an Iranian ballistic missile to Israel — about 1,580 km from Tehran to Tel Aviv — at roughly 12 minutes, with cruise missiles taking well over an hour and drones several hours. Targets in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE are far closer, a few hundred kilometres across the Gulf, so warning times there are reported in minutes. Flight time depends on the missile type and launch site; the tracker shows the launch and impact reports, not trajectories.
Which sources power the Iran missile tracker? International wires, Israeli, Iranian and Gulf outlets, official statements from CENTCOM, the IDF, the IRGC and regional militaries as carried by those outlets, and public OSINT channels. Reports are categorized and geolocated automatically and updated about every 20 minutes; inclusion does not independently confirm a claim, so open the item and consult the original source.
