Jordan's Balancing Act between Iran and Israel
Amidst Rising Regional Tensions
As regional tensions continue to escalate, Jordan finds itself navigating a delicate balancing act between Iran and Israel. The Hashemite kingdom, which shares borders with both countries, has historically maintained close ties with the United States and moderate Arab states while also seeking to maintain good relations with Iran.
A Complex Situation
Jordan's situation is complex. On the one hand, Iran is a major Shia power in the region, and Jordan has a significant Shia population. On the other hand, Israel is a key ally of the United States, and Jordan has long sought to maintain peaceful relations with its neighbor. However, the recent escalation of tensions between Iran and Israel has put Jordan in a difficult position.
