The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the Israeli airstrikes on Iran's territory, in breach of international law, saying that this attack is a violation of Iran's sovereignty and a dangerous escalation that fuels further tension in the region.
The ministry's spokesperson Dr. Sufian Qudah stressed Jordan's complete rejection of the dangerous escalation in the region and of violations of international law, warning against slipping into a conflict that threatens the region's stability and international security.
Qudah called on the international community to assume its responsibilities and take immediate measures to halt the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon as a first step toward de-escalation.
He also called for action to stop Israeli violations of international law and UN resolutions, and protect the region's security and stability from the disastrous consequences of continued Israeli attacks.
Meanwhile, Jordanian state media cited an armed force source as saying on Saturday that no military planes were allowed to cross Jordanian airspace by any conflicting regional parties.
