Jordan Ready to Shoot Down Any Iranian Missiles Breaching Its Airspace
12th August 2024
The Middle East is approaching two weeks since the Israeli killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran but the expected major Iranian retaliation still has not come. Things have ratcheted somewhat on Israel’s northern border amid the daily titi-for-tat with Hezbollah, but Iran’s ballistic missile launchers have remained silent.
Amid the waiting game, Jordan has reportedly informed Israel and Arab countries that it will not allow warring parties to use its airspace and is ready to confront any Iranian projectile that breaches its skies, as it did on April 13.
Sunni Jordan has very little affection for Shi’a Iran.
