Jordan’s Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh says any escalation in the region will lead to “dangerous paths” and says that there’s a need to reduce escalation by all parties.
In remarks to the cabinet, Khasawneh says the country’s armed forces will confront any attempt by any party that sought to endanger the kingdom’s security.
The staunch US ally’s air defenses intercepted and downed dozens of Iranian drones and missiles that flew over the country’s airspace in the direction of Israeli targets, security sources say.
