British fighter jets intercepted two Iranian drones over Jordanian airspace, according to reports. No further details on the drones' origin or target are immediately available.
British fighter jets intercepted two Iranian drones over Jordanian airspace shortly before 22:35 Jerusalem time, according to a single report. The identity of the interceptor aircraft and the exact location of the interception have not been specified.
The incident adds to a series of reported Iranian drone incursions over the Middle East in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has covered, Jordanian, Saudi, Bahraini, and US forces have previously intercepted Iranian drones in the region, though the involvement of British jets in such an interception is a notable development.
No confirmation has been received from official British or Jordanian sources, and the drones' intended target remains unclear. The report is based on a single unverified source.
