Jordan: We Defended Our Borders and People, Oppose Any Iranian Attempt to Violate Our Sovereignty
(MEMRI) The Iranian attack on Israel via Jordan's airspace was perceived not only as an infringement of Jordan's sovereignty but also as an attempt by Iran to expand its regional influence into the kingdom. Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Al-Safadi clarified that the country has a permanent policy of defending its airspace. Government spokesperson Muhannad Al-Mubaidin explicitly condemned Iran, stating that the government refuses to let Jordan be used by a country that is trying to "promote regional agendas" at its expense. The state daily Al-Rai explained in an editorial that Jordan will not be an arena for score-settling by other countries.
