Jordan shoots Iranian drones - help from an unexpected direction
Jordan shoots Iranian drones - help from an unexpected direction
In addition to NATO countries such as the United States, Great Britain and France, Israel's neighboring country Jordan also helped with fighter jets on Sunday night to shoot Iranian drones. According to media reports, Jordan managed to intercept dozens of the drones near the Iraqi-Syrian border, which apparently had Jerusalem. The Jordanian government confirmed the successful intercept of the drones on Sunday morning. It was found that the shot objects had penetrated into the Jordanian airspace but did not cause any injured or greater damage.Despite the help of Jordan in the defense of the Iranian drones, the Iran warned the country in conflict of interference. A representative of the semi -official Iranian news agency Fars expressed the threat that Jordan could otherwise be the next goal. Jordan had previously announced to shoot drones that were supposed to violate the country's airspace. As a precaution, the airspace was closed on Saturday evening and only open after ten hours on Sunday morning due to the "escalating risks in the region".
The approach of Jordan is considered remarkable, since it stands as an Arab country not only against Iran, but also against direct Arab neighboring countries such as Syria. The "Jerusalem Post" praised Jordania's acting as an underlining of the "transformation from the enemy to ally". Before the peace treaty with Israel in 1995, Jordan was a military opponent of Israel for many years.
