Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) announced the temporary closure of Jordanian airspace to all air traffic.

The decision was made in light of recent developments in the region.

On Tuesday evening, residents across Jordan shared scenes of dozens of missiles launched from Iran toward Israeli Occupation territories. This missile assault followed US warnings of a potential imminent strike by Iran.
