Jordan Draws Closer to Iran While Displaying Hostility to Israel

6

Another disastrous development in the Middle East is in the works, because of the Biden Administration’s dangerous pro-Iran policies.

“The warming of ties between Jordan and the Islamic Republic of Iran comes amidst a flurry of reports suggesting an Iranian diplomatic offensive among traditional U.S. allies. Jordan has every reason to try to deconflict with Iran, given the sheer amount of mayhem the clerical regime has caused inside Jordan — from Shia militias to Captagon. But Jordan must tread carefully if it wishes to remain in good standing with Washington and Jerusalem. The U.S.-led regional order hangs in the balance.” — Jonathan Schanzer, FDD Senior Vice President for Research

“Jordan has long been concerned about Iranian attempts to destabilize the kingdom, so it’s unsurprising that Amman would quickly follow Riyadh in seeking a détente. The problem, of course, is that the closer you get to the snake, the more likely it is to bite you.” — Richard Goldberg, FDD Senior Advisor

Jordan Draws Closer to Iran While Displaying Hostility to Israel

By FDD, April 25, 2023

Officials from Iran and Jordan are preparing to meet to improve relations and cooperation between the two countries. The agreement to meet “as soon as possible” came during a phone conversation on April 21 between Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Al-Safadi. The announcement follows a meeting between Amir-Abdollahian and Jordanian King Abdullah II on the sidelines of the second Baghdad Conference for Cooperation and Partnership held in Amman, Jordan, in December.
