Jordan may be next target of Iran – IRGC media
According to IRGC-affiliated Fars news agency,Tehran Is closely watching Jordan which may become the "next target in case of any (pro-Israel) move.”
Jordanian jets have shot dozens of Iranian drones flying across northern and central Jordan, according to two regional security sources.
Jordan's air defences said they were ready to intercept and shoot down any Iranian drones or aircraft that violate its airspace, two regional security sources said.
They said the army was also in a state of high alert and radar systems were monitoring any drone activity coming from the direction of Iraq and Syria.
Residents in several cities in the northern part of the country near Syria and central and southern areas heard heavy aerial activity. A security source said the country's air force was intensifying reconnaissance flights.
Jordan had earlier said it closed its airspace starting on Saturday night to all incoming, departing and transiting aircraft in what officials told Reuters were precautionary measures in the event of an Iranian strike across its border.
"The relevant authorities took the decision to close the airspace for precautionary reasons as a result of the surrounding security situation," Jordan's government spokesperson Muhannad Mubaideen said.
