Countries that helped block missiles targeting Israel will be “held accountable”, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Wednesday (2).
Araghchi was responding to a question from reporters about Jordan’s help in intercepting projectiles fired from Iran toward Israel on Tuesday. The US and UK were also involved in defending Israel.
Iran fired dozens of missiles at Israel in response to the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut last week.
Jordan’s army said in a statement following the Iranian attack that all units and formations in the overall command of its armed forces were placed “on high alert to counter any attempts that threaten the security and stability of the kingdom.”
“Jordan’s position has always been that it will not be a battlefield for anyone, protecting Jordan and its people is our number one responsibility,” Mohammad al-Momani, Minister of Government Communications, told the government-funded al-Mamlaka TV channel state this Wednesday.
US ally Jordan helped intercept missiles during another Iranian attack on Israel in April, prompting warnings from Tehran.
Iran’s attack on Israel on Tuesday injured three people in Jordan and missile fragments fell in different parts of the country, including the capital Amman.
Jordanian state media broadcasts showed damage in several locations, including a report from Balqa province, northwest of Amman, where a reporter said a 2-meter missile fragment had fallen.
