Amman —

3 facts about the deterrence operation

As for the second, it is that Jordan has endured a great deal of excessive incitement against it and its nation from organizations that have taken southern Syria as their base, until this incitement turned into actions that undermine Jordanian security and pose a constant threat.

The third of these facts is that the deterrence operation is not the first and will not be the last, as Jordan is in a state of daily engagement with terrorist bases, smugglers' dens, and the remnants of the previous regime, and hardly a day passes without the Armed Forces facing the dangers of infiltration and the smuggling of drugs and weapons.

It is not new that southern Syria has for years constituted a hotbed where formations of drug and weapon smugglers and terrorist remnants thrive.

In its battle against this terrorism, Jordan acts on behalf of the Syrian government itself, for whom the danger of these elements is no less, but on the contrary, even more severe.

Jordan, in its battle against drug smuggling, also acts on behalf of the countries of the region that suffer from the same risks.

In the midst of all this, we must point to the strength of the Jordanian relationship, leadership, government, and people, with the new Syria, and Jordan confirms and works every sunrise to support the security, safety, and unity of the Syrian state and its sovereignty over its lands and borders, and the security, safety, and unity of its people, even amidst the conflict and infighting between some of its components.

Jordan's supreme interest requires maintaining the Syrian state as a unified, modern, pluralistic, civil, and national state.

The relationship with Syria is imposed by neighborhood, shared borders, Arabism, and economic interests... Is there any escape from all this?

Have the dangers ended? No, they have not ended, for the security threat is continuous and worrying, and the story of the drones is a real threat, and the Arab Army is performing its duty to the fullest, even inside Syrian territory if necessity dictates to protect its security, which is a legitimate intervention.
