Iranian missile and drone attacks on Israel must pass through Jordan. The unauthorized launch of missiles and drones through Jordanian airspace without Jordan's consent is a violation of Jordan's sovereignty.
Iran's attack on Israel must pass through Jordan
Jordan and Israel are already friendly countries that have established diplomatic relations, and their economies complement each other
Although Jordan is an Arab country, Jordan and Israel signed the Washington Declaration in Washington, D.C., as early as 1994, which has put an end to years of hostility between the two sides.
In addition, Jordan is currently heavily dependent on Israel for freshwater resources. Israel's desalination technology is the world's first, while Jordan is a semi-desert state. Jordan is rich in phosphates, and the economies of the two sides complement each other. From Amman, the capital of Jordan, to Haifa, Israel, they built a railway, and Jordanian products were exported through the port of Haifa.
Iran's foreign minister claimed to have given 72 hours' notice to friendly countries, but Jordan was not buying it
In the wake of Iran's attack on Israel, Iranian Foreign Minister Abdollahian claimed to have given 72 hours' notice to friends in the region, including Jordan. So did Jordan respond to Iran?
Should Iran consult with Jordan or inform Jordan? Others have the right to refuse.
If Jordan acquiesces in Iran's attack on Israel through its territory, will Israel direct its anger at Jordan?
Jordan has taken the most reasonable approach to the situation
For Iran to forcibly pass through the territory of Jordan to launch missiles and drones at Israel. Iran wants to launch, and Jordan can't stop it. Reuters reported that the Jordanian Air Force dispatched to intercept about 80 drones in Jordanian territory. Iran believes that Jordan is helping Israel by doing so. However, Jordan's move is reasonable and legitimate, Jordan is not helping Israel, Jordan is defending its sovereignty. But Jordan's interception of Iranian drones objectively relieves pressure on Israel, to which Israel is grateful.

Iran is unhappy with Jordan
Iran's semi-official Fars news agency quoted the Iranian military as saying that Iran has warned Jordan that Jordan dares to support Israel and that Iran will attack Jordan.
Jordan summoned the Iranian ambassador and strongly condemned it
Jordanian Foreign Minister Safadi summoned the Iranian ambassador to Jordan in Amman after Jordan intercepted the Iranian drone and expressed a strong protest.
Jordanian Foreign Minister Safadi
Safadi said:
"We will intercept every drone or missile that violates Jordan's airspace to avoid any danger. We will respond to any threat to the security of Jordan and its people with all our capabilities and resources. ”
萨法迪还说：
Whether the threat comes from Iran or Israel, Jordan's response is the same.
Jordan is caught between the two powers, Iran and Israel, and sticking to its principles is a wise move for Jordan to avoid getting involved in a war between Iran and Israel. Now that Israel is satisfied, Iran has nothing to say.
