As tensions escalate in the Middle East, security experts are warning of Iran's increasing focus on Jordan as a potential 'terror front.' Iran, along with its proxy forces such as Hamas and Hezbollah, has been eyeing Jordan as the last stronghold of pro-Western influence in the region.
Iran's growing influence and support for proxy fighters across the Middle East, from Gaza to Yemen, have raised concerns about the potential destabilization of Jordan. Israeli officials have also raised alarms about Iran's efforts to establish a new terror front against Israel, with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard reportedly coordinating with Hamas operatives to smuggle weapons and funds into Jordan.
These smuggling operations, aimed at establishing pro-Iranian sentiment in the West Bank, have been a longstanding challenge for Jordanian security forces. The Jordanian regime has been working to prevent the formation of anti-Israel terrorist cells in the region, recognizing the threat posed by Iran's expanding influence.
Despite efforts to ease tensions through diplomatic channels, Jordan has made it clear that it will not allow itself to become a battleground for Iran and Israel. Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi emphasized that Jordan will intercept any threats passing through its airspace to protect its citizens and maintain stability in the region.
As the situation continues to evolve, the Jordanian monarchy and security services remain crucial in preventing further escalation and maintaining the delicate balance in the region.
