Iran has suggested that it may take action against Jordan, escalating tensions in the region following recent hostilities with Israel. The warning comes after Iranian forces launched a series of drone attacks targeting Jordanian aircraft.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards issued a stern caution to Jordan, indicating that those seen as supporting Israel would face consequences. This statement follows the destruction of several Iranian drones by Jordanian fighter jets, a move that further fueled animosity between the two nations.
Moreover, Iranian officials took the opportunity to advise the United States against aligning with Israel, urging them to consider the implications for Iranian interests in the region.
The aftermath of Iran’s attacks saw Israeli fighter jets withdrawing from Gaza, marking a significant shift in the ongoing conflict in the area. This retreat comes in the aftermath of heightened tensions and exchange of hostilities between Israel and Iran.
The recent escalation can be traced back to April 1st when an Iranian consulate in Damascus was targeted in an attack attributed to Israel. In response, Iran launched drone and ballistic missile strikes against Israeli targets, intensifying the already volatile situation in the region.
While Iranian media reports claim that a significant portion of the missiles hit their intended targets, Israeli and American sources maintain that most of them were intercepted, mitigating the damage caused.
