Jordan to shoot down any target

Jordan has declared its readiness to shoot down any Iranian missiles that breach its airspace, reaffirming its stance of not allowing its territory to be used as a battleground for any party involved in the ongoing regional conflict. Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi emphasized that Jordan will not permit military operations in its airspace, which comes amid escalating tensions following the assassinations of key figures from Hezbollah and Hamas. In the context of increased violence, Hamas has claimed responsibility for a recent shooting in the Jordan Valley that resulted in the death of an Israeli settler, framing it as a response to Israeli military actions in Gaza, which have led to significant casualties. Jordan has denied reports of any agreement with Israel regarding airspace usage for military purposes, asserting its commitment to sovereignty. The situation remains tense as fears grow over potential retaliatory strikes from Iran and its allies against Israel, with the backdrop of significant civilian casualties reported in Gaza.
