Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told his Iranian counterpart on a visit to Amman today that his country will not allow any side to “violate” its airspace, amid the escalation between Iran and Israel.
OR Jordan “It will not be a battlefield for anyone and will not allow any side to violate its sovereignty and airspace or threaten the security of its citizens,” Safadi told Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Iran on October 1 launched around 200 missiles against Israel, including many hypersonic missiles for the first time. Israel has vowed to make Tehran pay the price for its attack.
Iran presented these attacks as retaliation for the assassination, in July, in Tehran, of the leader of the Palestinian organization Hamas Ismail Haniya, attributed to Israel, and for that of Hassan Nasrallah, head of the pro-Iranian organization Hezbollah in Lebanon, who was killed in a Israeli attack on September 27 near Beirut.
Following the October 1 Iranian attack, Jordan closed its airspace and its air force and air defense intercepted missiles and drones after they entered Jordanian airspace.
Jordan’s Interior Ministry also stated that civilians were slightly injured by falling debris.
