UK, Jordan summon Iranian envoys

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi both summoned Iranian envoys on Sunday over the recent happenings taking place in the Middle East.

The United Kingdom detailed in a statement that Iran’s charge d’affaires was summoned over Tehran’s strike on Israel. “At a time of great tension in the Middle East, this was a profoundly dangerous and unnecessary escalation by Iran … The Iranian authorities must take meaningful and immediate action to de-escalate and halt its reckless and unlawful behaviour,” it was written in the statement.

Meanwhile, Safadi told the state-owned Mamlaka public broadcaster that the Iranian ambassador to the country was summoned after Iran threatened Jordan it would become its next target should it help Israel in any way in its potential attack on Iran.
