Middle East Jordan, which defended Israel last night by neutralizing much of the Iranian attack on its airspace, has still not been officially thanked by Israel.

Imagine being Jordan in the last 48 hours.

  1. Get threatened by Iran to not interfere.

  2. Interfere.

  3. Get no assurances from Israel or the US.

  4. Profit?!

As in prior decades, the most compliant leaders of these nations are bribed/blackmailed by foreign powers.

Have people accuse leadership of being traitors because they didn’t allow a foreign nation to use their airspace to commit acts of war

Isreal’s attack on the Iranian embassy was an act of war, iran has the right to defend itself.

Maybe so, but they don't have the right to use Jordanian airspace to do so...

Since we are playing by international law, isreal doesn’t have the right to murder more than 12,000+ children and 30,000+ total civilians. Also, after an altitude of ~20 miles, a country’s claim to airspace ends, similar to how a country’s claim to ocean waters is within 12 nautical miles and after that it’s international waters.

Who said I was defending Israel? And sope countries claim higher. Stop shilling for Iran, a theocratic fascist regime that is deliberately destabilizing the entire region

Who said I was defending iran? I never assumed you were shilling for Israel, an apartheid ethnostate regime and serial human right and international law violator, but you assumed i was shilling for iran. I know that iran is a theocratic regime and I usually oppose them for their human right violations, but in this instance they were attacked first this giving them the right to self defense. And jordan’s airspace altitude claim is only 13000 feet.

And Jordan has a right to shoot down missiles and aircraft flying over its borders... Never did I deny Iran's right to defend itself, but why do you bring that up over and over if you're not an Iranian shill??

As i had stated before, I know that iran is a theocratic regime and I usually oppose them for their human right violations. Show me any positive, neutral, or non-negative mention of iran that I have made before the embassy bombing. Judging by your comment history, you kept mentioning isreal’s “right to defend itself” on posts about isreali war crimes that hasbarists always wash down with “isreali self defense” making you an isreal shill.
