Jordan firmly denies allowing its airspace to be used for military operations, emphasizing its commitment to sovereignty amid escalating regional tensions and humanitarian crises.


Jordan's Firm Stance on Airspace Usage

In a significant declaration, a senior Jordanian official has firmly stated that Jordan will not permit its airspace or land to be utilized by any conflicting party. This announcement was made in response to rumors suggesting that Jordan had allowed Israel to use its airspace for military operations against Iran. The official emphasized that such claims are unfounded and labeled them as "pure rumors and full of lies."

Military Activity and Regional Tensions

The official acknowledged that the Royal Air Force has been conducting normal military activities, which include combat aircraft and helicopters, amidst rising regional tensions. However, he reiterated that no military response is authorized against any group involved in ongoing conflicts. This clarification comes as Israel prepares for potential retaliatory actions from Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas following recent escalations, including the assassination of key leaders in these groups.

International Response and Humanitarian Crisis

As the situation escalates, Israel continues its military operations in Gaza, leading to a humanitarian crisis with over 131,000 Palestinians reported killed or wounded. The international community's calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian assistance have largely gone unheeded by Tel Aviv. Jordan's commitment to maintaining its airspace sovereignty reflects its broader diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region and prevent further escalation.
