Probably spidermites. I had some on my jasmine recently as well. If your plant can take it, I find it best to put it in the shower and spray it down with a moderately harsh steam of water. (You could put cellophane or something else over the soil so you can move it around freely without making a mess.
The water should dislodge most (probably not all) mites. Isolate the plant (and check its recent neighbors). Repeat after 2-3 days, several times to make sure you get them all.
If this does not work for you, horticultural soap/need oil are options as well, as is diatomaceous earth, but for me and und the case of the jasmine, hosing it down works.

Don't forget the undersides of the leaves, whichever method you choose. Also, Spidermites love dust and a lack of humidity, so raising the humidity might help in the future. And a magnifying glass is a lifesaver. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate my magnifying app. Not only is it easier to identify certain pests, but also to check every nook and cranny of you plant. I wish you and your jasmine the best of luck. Mine really appreciated the showers and bounced back really quickly and is healthier than even before. I don't know if that is comparable however. Mine is a run of the mill jasmine and I do not know if they are even related.
Sorry my lady but Bibi has made a home for spider mites. I'd try spraying with either soapy water ( I use a little bit of Dawn) or with Neem oil. Do it outside so them nasty things don't spread around. Let her dry for a good while. I would wipe her down gently if using soap. Keep her separated from any other plants for a while. Better check any other plants and treat as necessary.
Hope this helps 😊
