Jordan announced on Friday a temporary closure of its airspace, local media said.
The Jordanian Civil Aviation Authority said that all air traffic to and from the kingdom was halted “in anticipation of any risks that may arise from the ongoing escalation in the region,” the official news agency Petra reported.
The decision came after Israel launched a sweeping military operation against Iran early Friday, with strikes targeting its nuclear program and long-range missile capabilities.
