Jordan Supports Diplomatic Solution Despite Iranian Missile Attack

Jordan continues to back diplomatic efforts in managing tensions with Iran despite a missile attack launched against it on Thursday. A Jordanian official close to the government told Kan News that Amman calls for de-escalation and an end to hostilities, emphasizing that any resolution must respect the sovereignty of Arab states. The official also stressed that Jordan will not allow any party to violate its airspace, maintaining a defensive posture alongside most Gulf countries currently under threat.

The missile attack underscores the ongoing aggressive stance of Iran's regime, which remains on the offensive while Gulf states and Jordan stay defensive. The recent memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran has failed to provide Arab and Gulf countries with sufficient guarantees to curb potential Iranian provocations. The pattern of escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz leading to attacks on Gulf and Arab states has persisted since before the current conflict.

Amid the ongoing war involving Iran, Israel is reportedly strengthening its ties with Jordan. Israeli official Eli Cohen stated Israel is prepared to renew its campaign against Iran, even for a third time, highlighting the regional security concerns tied to Iran's actions.
