In addition to NATO countries such as the USA, Great Britain and France, Jordania's fighter jets are also deployed to shoot Iranian drones on Sunday night. According to media reports, Jordan has managed to intercept dozens of the drones near the Iraqi-Syrian border that apparently had Jerusalem as the goal. The Jordan government has confirmed this action, and it is reported that the shot objects have entered the Jordanian airspace, but have not left any injuries or major damage.

Iran warned Jordan of a interference into the conflict and threatened to attack further attacks if the country continued. As a precaution, Jordan had closed the airspace on Saturday evening and opened again after ten hours on Sunday morning due to security concerns and the escalating risks in the region. During the Iranian attack on Israel, parts of shot down rockets were reported.

The approach of Jordan is important, since it stands as an Arab country not only against Iran, but also against direct Arabic countries such as Syria. This illustrates the transformation from a potential enemy to an ally, especially against the background of the peace treaty with Israel in 1995, which ended a long time of hostility.
