3 I was not able to confirm this from any non-pro-iranian source. I dont trust IRGC. Here's the Subcontinent Indian Take:

Jordan’s military said on Wednesday that it intercepted and destroyed multiple missiles launched from Iran, even as neighbouring Bahrain activated air raid sirens twice within an hour amid growing fears that the escalating confrontation between Tehran and Washington is spreading across the Gulf... According to Jordanian military authorities, five missiles launched from Iran were intercepted before reaching the Al-Azraq area in Zarqa province. The armed forces said the operation prevented any direct impact on civilian infrastructure.

10 #7 Trump calls off strikes on Iran, says regime agreed to deal

Fooled again? Maybe yes, maybe no. In order to make that judgement, we need to know the following:
1) What Trump got in response to his threat
2) Who exactly who the 'regime' is.

If anyone has the deets, I would love to hear them.
