Jordan summons Iran’s chargé d’affaires, protests ‘attacks on its territory’

AMMAN, Jordan — Jordan’s Foreign Ministry summoned Iran’s chargé d’affaires in Amman on Monday and delivered a sharp protest note condemning what it described as Iranian attacks on Jordanian territory. The ministry said it conveyed to the diplomat a demand that Iran immediately halt the attacks and delivered a clear message to Tehran. The ministry stressed that Jordan’s security and the safety of its citizens represent a red line, rejected what it called provocative Iranian statements, and said Jordan would continue to take all measures necessary to protect its security. It did not specify the nature of the alleged attacks in the statement. Separately, a Jordanian military source said the country’s air defenses intercepted three of four missiles fired from Iran, with the fourth landing in a remote area in southern Jordan. Jordanian media reported that sirens sounded in several governorates, warning residents of the escalation. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said the missiles were fired in response to threats to Iran’s national security, without elaborating. No casualties were mentioned in the available reporting. Further details on the diplomatic fallout and the scope of the alleged Iranian strikes were not immediately available.
