Following Israel's announcement of the conclusion of its airstrike campaign against Iran, warning against retaliation, a military source in the Jordanian Armed Forces confirmed that no military aircraft crossed the country's airspace.

The source emphasized on Saturday that "no military aircraft have been permitted to pass through Jordanian airspace from the conflicting parties in the region," as reported by the Jordanian News Agency.

This position came after the Israeli army declared that approximately 100 aircraft attacked military sites within Iran, including missile manufacturing facilities and air defense systems. The strikes targeted these sites due to their role in threatening Israel over the past year.

Meanwhile, Iranian authorities downplayed the extent of the damage caused by these airstrikes. Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani stated that the Israeli strikes resulted in limited losses.

She also stressed in remarks today that the general situation in the country remains normal, adding that air traffic has resumed normally after being suspended for several hours in the early morning.

For its part, Washington urged Tehran to avoid escalation. A senior U.S. official remarked that "what has happened should be the end of the confrontation between Israel and Iran."

The official warned that if "Iranian authorities choose to respond, the U.S. is ready to counter," according to Reuters.

Since the beginning of this month, following Tehran's attack on Israel with more than 180 missiles, claiming it was in response to the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in the southern suburbs of Beirut on September 27, alongside a Revolutionary Guard leader, as well as the head of Hamas's political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, on July 31 in the heart of the Iranian capital, the two countries have exchanged threats.

During this period, Washington urged its ally to avoid escalating tensions and refrain from striking Iranian oil or nuclear sites, even as it supported "Tel Aviv's right to defend itself."
