Jordan helps the USA and Israel: Iranian drones shot down
In addition to NATO countries such as the United States, Great Britain and France, Jordan mobilized his fighter jets in order to shoot Iranian drones alongside NATO states on Sunday night. According to reports, Jordan managed to intercept dozens of the drones near the Iraqi-Syrian border, which were targeted by Jerusalem as potential goals. On Sunday morning, the Jordanian government confirmed the successful shooting of the drones that had entered Jordanian airspace. Despite the penetration of the drones and the shooting, no people were injured and there were no major damage to buildings.Immediately after the incidents, Iran Jordan warned of a interference into conflict and threatened to take further measures if Jordan should continue his actions. Nevertheless, Jordan had already announced to shoot drones that would violate airspace. As a precaution, Jordan had closed the airspace on Saturday evening and only reopened after ten hours on Sunday morning due to the escalating situation in the region.
The decision of Jordania to face Iran and even neighboring Arab countries such as Syria is considered remarkable. The "Jerusalem Post" praised the measure as a sign of Jordan's transformation from the enemy to the ally, especially with regard to the peace treaty with Israel from 1995. Before this historical agreement, Jordan was a military opponent in the country for decades.
