AMMAN / Laith al-Junaidi / Anadolu

Jordan's Foreign Ministry announced on Sunday that it summoned the chargé d'affaires of the Iranian embassy in Amman and delivered a strongly worded protest message over the continued attacks targeting the kingdom.

The ministry said in a statement that it informed the chargé d'affaires of its protest over the continuation of what it described as 'brutal and unjustified Iranian attacks' targeting the kingdom's territory.

It added that the protest also covered the 'inciting and provocative statements' issued by Iranian official bodies regarding Jordan, without naming them.

The ministry asked the chargé d'affaires to convey a message to his country on the necessity of immediately stopping the attacks on the kingdom and the inciting statements it described as 'unacceptable'.

It affirmed that Jordan's security and the safety of its citizens are a 'red line that cannot be crossed'.

The ministry considered the Iranian attacks a flagrant violation of the kingdom's sovereignty and a breach of international law and the UN Charter.

It also condemned the Iranian attacks on the Gulf Cooperation Council states and affirmed Jordan's solidarity with them in the measures they are taking to protect their sovereignty, security, and the safety of their citizens and residents.

It renewed its affirmation that Jordan will continue to take all necessary measures to protect its citizens, security, and sovereignty.

Jordan, along with Arab countries, was subjected to attacks that Tehran said targeted US military facilities, in response to daily strikes carried out by Washington inside Iran.

On Saturday, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the death of two US soldiers and the loss of a third in Jordan, while repelling Iranian attacks with ballistic missiles and drones on Friday.

The confrontation between Washington and Tehran entered its second week, after US President Donald Trump announced on July 8 the end of the ceasefire stipulated in a memorandum of understanding signed on June 18, 2026.

Trump's announcement came after Iran targeted three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, amid a dispute between Tehran and Washington over the mechanism of ship passage and freedom of navigation in the strategic waterway.
