Iran thanks Jordan for its stance after 'Israeli' attack

Jordan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi held a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Dr. Abbas Araghchi on Thursday, during which he strongly condemned the 'Israeli' aggression against Iran, calling it a dangerous escalation and a violation of international law.

According to an official readout, Safadi reiterated Jordan’s firm rejection of the attack, describing it as a “serious breach of Iran’s sovereignty” and warning that such provocations risk dragging the region into a broader conflict. He also stressed the need for collective efforts to de-escalate tensions and prevent the region from sliding into “a new regional war that threatens both regional and global peace.”

The Iranian foreign minister, for his part, thanked Jordan for its “clear and principled stance” in condemning the 'Israeli' strikes and for rejecting any further escalation that could destabilize the region.

Safadi emphasized that while Jordan continues to condemn 'Israeli' aggression and advocate for calm, it will not tolerate any violation of its own sovereignty or threats to the safety of its citizens. He made it clear that Jordan “will not be a battlefield for any party” and will respond decisively to any breach of its airspace, whether by 'Israel' or Iran.

“This is a firm and longstanding Jordanian position,” Safadi added, “and both Israel and Iran are fully aware of it.”

The Jordanian foreign minister also stressed that de-escalation can only be achieved by addressing the root causes of conflict in accordance with international law. He reiterated Jordan’s position that lasting security in the region depends on upholding the sovereignty of all states and ensuring the legitimate rights of peoples, especially the Palestinian people’s right to freedom, security, and an independent state on their own land.
