Jordan lobbying to prevent Israel from using its airspace for Iran strike – officials
[IsraelTimes] Jordan’s King Abdullah asked US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family, the guy who bungled Afghanistan...
during a call over the weekend to urge Israel not to use Amman’s airspace in a counter-strike against Iran, three officials familiar with the matter tell The Times of Israel.

Given how critical the Hashemite kingdom has been of Israel’s war against Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, Jordan was arguably the most notable member of the US-led coalition that joined the IDF in shooting down the over 300 missiles and drones Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites....

fired at the Jewish state on Saturday night.

But Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi subsequently insisted that Amman will protect its skies, "regardless of where those drones are from — from Israel, from Iran, from anybody else."

On top of that public warning to Israel, Jordan has also been privately sending messages to Jerusalem through the US and other countries asking that it take a different route if it goes ahead with plans to strike Iran, a senior Arab diplomat, an Israeli official and a Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra)
...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...
official tell The Times of Israel.

While it is unlikely that Jordan would actually shoot down an Israeli drone, missile or plane that entered its airspace, Amman fears that allowing such a strike to go ahead, particularly after helping thwart the Iranian attack, will expose it to retaliation from Tehran, the officials say.

Following Iran’s strike, the Islamic Theocratic Republic threatened the Hashemite kingdom that it would be hit next if it acted against Iran.

Israel could go through Syria in order to strike Iran, but the quicker, more practical route would start through Jordan, given that it holds diplomatic ties with Amman and given that Jordan is less likely to tip off Iran that an attack is incoming.

Jordan’s Foreign Ministry did not respond to a request for comment.
