ALBAWABA – In a statement released by the Iranian news agency, Iran has issued a direct threat to Jordan, warning that the country has placed itself in the line of fire due to its interception of Iranian missiles and drones.

Iran stated, “Jordan has positioned itself for our strikes, and it must not rule out being punished for its actions tonight.”

This threat comes in response to a series of direct confrontations with Iranian missiles and drones, as reported by eyewitnesses in Jordan. The Jordanian government has emphasized that the penetration of its airspace by missiles and drones poses a threat to its national security.

The government stated that repelling these attacks is the duty of the Jordanian Armed Forces to maintain security and safety within the country.
