AQABAD, JUL 19: Jordanian authorities have not issued any decision to evacuate the airport or seaport in Aqaba on Sunday, the government’s spokesperson told Reuters, after the US embassy in Amman said they had been evacuated due to a credible threat.

“No potential threats have been recorded by the relevant Jordanian authorities in the past few hours,” government spokesperson Mohammad Al-Momani told Reuters in a written statement. “The airport and port are operating normally.”

Planes that belong to the Royal Jordanian Airlines and other companies are parked at the Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, Jordan February 23, 2020.
The US embassy had said earlier the airport and seaport were evacuated due to a “specific and credible threat,” without providing further details.

US embassy warns Americans from traveling to Jordan’s airport amid tensions with Iran
It advised Americans to refrain from traveling to either location and to continue to follow all security directives issued by Jordanian authorities.

The US military said on Saturday that two of its personnel were killed in Jordan and another was missing after an Iranian attack.

Over the last week, Jordan has repeatedly said that it has intercepted Iranian missiles flying over its territory.
