Amidst rising tensions in the region, Jordan has found itself in a difficult position. Caught between two unfriendly neighboring states, Israel and Iran, the country is struggling to manage its diplomatic and strategic positions. Last week, Mr. Muasher of Jordan assisted Israel in defending against Iranian drones and missiles, leading to protests within the country.
The situation raises important questions about how Jordan, a close partner of the USA, found itself in this position. While Western celebrations may have taken place, Jordanians took to the streets to protest this action. The protests highlight the internal dissent and divisions that have been exacerbated by these external conflicts.
Moving forward, Jordan will need to carefully navigate its relationships with both countries to ensure its national interests are protected. The country’s actions in supporting Israel against Iran’s threats underscore the complexities of its position. As tensions continue to rise, it will be essential for Jordan to maintain a delicate balance between its own interests and regional stability.
