Jordan’s top diplomat assures his Iranian counterpart that the kingdom will not allow its territory or airspace to be used to launch attacks on the Islamic Republic.
“Jordan will not be a battleground in any regional conflict or a launching pad for any military action against Iran,” Ayman Safadi tells Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in a phone call, according to a Jordanian foreign ministry statement.
Safadi adds that Amman, a US ally, “will not permit any party to violate its airspace or threaten its security and the safety of its citizens,” amid US threats of a possible attack on Iran.
