The airspace of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan was violated tonight by several missiles amid a new escalation of tensions in the region.

Al-Momani stated on his official X account that Jordanian authorities activated sirens and urged residents to follow provided instructions. He added that the Jordanian Armed Forces are closely monitoring regional developments and are committed to their duty to "protect the homeland and its assets."

Jordanian authorities have not reported any missile interceptions or impacts on their territory from the projectiles or their debris. The government spokesperson reiterated a warning against any attempts to violate the kingdom's airspace, emphasizing that Jordan will not permit itself to become a battlefield.

The Jordanian Armed Forces are monitoring regional developments closely and fulfilling their duty to protect the homeland and its assets.

Iran launched several waves of missiles at Israel in retaliation for Israeli strikes on the Dahye, a suburb of Beirut. The Iranian army had previously warned Israel of a "devastating response" if it retaliated against Iranian territory or bombed Lebanon again. This incident marks a significant escalation, with Jordan caught in the middle of the regional conflict.

“

We reiterate our warning against any attempt to violate the kingdom's airspace by any party, and we affirm that no one will be allowed to turn Jordan into a battlefield.
