Jordan’s Alliance with the US Makes the Kingdom a Target for Iranian Strikes
Iranian missiles and drones have repeatedly hit targets tied to U.S. forces, testing Jordan’s security partnership with Washington, officials and analysts said.
- Jordan, a staunch U.S. ally hosting American forces, has become a target for repeated Iranian missile and drone strikes, straining the kingdom's security partnership with Washington.
- Amman and Washington signed a 2021 defense-cooperation agreement granting U.S. forces access to 12 military installations across the kingdom, establishing the strategic foundation for American military presence.
- U.S. grants constitute at least 8%, or $1.47 billion, of Jordan's annual budget, while the kingdom faces regional volatility and millions of refugees from neighboring conflicts.
- On Thursday, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi defended the country's sovereignty, stating "We were not a party to this war" while criticizing Iranian "meddling in internal affairs."
- Strategic positioning risks destabilizing the monarchy, as analysts warn the king faces threats not only to U.S. forces he hosts but also to his own rule.
