Jordan has firmly stated that it will not allow its airspace to be used by any party, including Israel, amidst tensions in the region. Jordanian sources have communicated to Sky News Arabia that the Jordanian Armed Forces will enforce this restriction under any circumstances. The country's foreign minister has also informed both Iran and Israel that Jordan will shoot down any target that enters its skies, emphasizing that Jordan will not become a battlefield for the two nations. This statement comes amid reports from Israel's Channel 12 suggesting that Jordan might permit Israel to use its airspace to counter a potential Iranian retaliatory attack, a claim that Jordan officially denies.
