Jordan's Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh said on Sunday any escalation in the region would lead to "dangerous paths" and said that there was a need to reduce escalation by all parties.
In remarks to the cabinet, Khasawneh said the country's armed forces would confront any attempt by any party that sought to endanger the kingdom's security.
The staunch U.S. ally's air defences intercepted and downed dozens of Iranian drones and missiles that flew over the country's airspace in the direction of Israeli targets, security sources said.

A long-delayed economic initiative between Israel and Jordan is gaining renewed momentum, as both governments move to advance the “Jordan Gateway” project despite ongoing regional tensions.
Jordan's Armed Forces announced Saturday they had intercepted 79 out of 85 missiles and drones fired directly from Iran toward Jordanian territory during the second week of the US-Israeli war against Tehran.
Several Gulf Arab states said they were targeted by Iranian missiles on Saturday after Tehran pledged to retaliate against strikes by the United States and Israel, bringing conflict to a part of the Arab world that prides itself on relative safety.
