Jordan's Minister of State for Media Affairs, Mohammad Momani, has reaffirmed the Kingdom's stance against becoming a conflict zone amidst escalating tensions with Iran. Following a recent missile barrage from Iran targeting Israel, several missiles crossed Jordanian airspace, prompting immediate government action to ensure public safety. Momani emphasized that Jordan's primary responsibility is the protection of its citizens, and although there were no critical injuries, the incident caused material damage, which is currently under assessment. The Jordanian Armed Forces remained on high alert, urging citizens to remain indoors to safeguard themselves and their families.
In response to the missile threat, Jordan temporarily closed its airspace and later reopened it as the situation stabilized. Reports indicate that Jordanian forces engaged in intercepting some missiles and drones that entered their airspace, showcasing the Kingdom's readiness to defend its territory. Social media was flooded with images and videos of the incident, highlighting public concern and the chaotic atmosphere following the missile strikes. The Jordanian government has called for calm and for citizens to rely on official sources for information, discouraging the spread of rumors amidst the crisis.
