EU Advises Against Flights Over Jordan Following Iranian Missile Launches — איור מערכת שנוצר על ידי baba News, לא צילום של האירוע.

Following missile launches from Iran toward Aqaba, Jordan, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency issued a warning advising airlines to avoid operating flights at all altitudes within Jordanian airspace. Concurrently, the EU naval force cautioned vessels from Israel, the United States, and Saudi Arabia against sailing in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden near Yemen, following a maritime blockade warning issued by the Houthi rebels.

The Greek government also warned ships flying its flag about risks in the Red Sea and recommended coordination with the EU. Two days prior, the Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree announced a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, declaring a maritime ban on the "criminal Saudi enemy" effective immediately.

This escalation follows Saudi Arabia's recent missile strike toward Yemen and an air attack on Sanaa airport aimed at preventing an Iranian plane from landing. The Houthis condemned the Saudi aggression, promising retaliation. Hours later, Saudi Arabia reported that the Houthis launched at least six missiles targeting a southern Saudi airport. The Houthi foreign ministry in Sanaa declared the Saudi attack ended a period of de-escalation and ceasefire, accusing Riyadh of declaring war and bearing full responsibility for the consequences.
