Recent reports from Israeli media claimed that Jordan would allow Israel to use their airspace in the event of an Iranian attack. However, Jordan has officially denied these claims, stating that they would not permit any party to use their airspace for military purposes. This comes amidst heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, following the assassination of Hamas’ political bureau chief in Tehran, which has been attributed to Israel.
The Iranian Mission to the UN has vowed retaliation against Israel, but emphasized that their priority is establishing a lasting ceasefire in Gaza. The US, Qatar, and Egypt have called for truce negotiations between Israel and Hamas, offering to present a final proposal if an agreement cannot be reached.
Despite the denials from Jordan, Israel is preparing for a potential attack from Iran and has announced they will send a delegation to ceasefire talks next week. The situation remains tense, with both sides asserting their rights to self-defense and sovereignty.
