It is no longer acceptable for Iran to deal with neighboring countries with the logic of imposing a fait accompli, flexing its muscles, or settling scores at the expense of the security, sovereignty, and stability of their peoples. The attacks and targeting that Jordan has been subjected to are unacceptable by any standard, constitute a direct infringement on the Kingdom's sovereignty and national security, and cannot be treated as a passing detail in a turbulent regional landscape.
Jordan has always been and remains a state that respects international law and the sovereignty of nations, does not interfere in the affairs of others, and at the same time does not allow any party to turn its lands, airspace, or borders into an arena for conflict or a platform for settling regional scores.
Hence, the Jordanian message must be clear and unambiguous: Jordan will not be an arena for settling scores, and it will not allow its national security to be held hostage to any regional conflict.
The continuation of these practices, attacks, and attempts to target Jordan or threaten its security cannot serve Iranian interests in the long run. On the contrary, the policy of force and bullying toward neighboring countries will only lead to increasing Iran's isolation, deepening distrust in it, and pushing more countries in the region to seek security, political, and economic partnerships and alliances that protect their interests and sovereignty.
The region does not need more military adventures or the expansion of the circle of conflict; rather, it needs respect for the sovereignty of states, a return to the logic of dialogue and diplomacy, and recourse to international law.
Jordan is not a state looking for confrontation, but at the same time, it is not a state that accepts attacks on its security or threats to its citizens. This is an equation that everyone knows well.
When it comes to Jordan's security, the Jordanian Armed Forces – the Arab Army, and the Royal Air Force, represent the impenetrable dam that protects the Kingdom's skies, borders, and national security. What our Arab Army has proven under various circumstances confirms that Jordan possesses the capability, readiness, and will to protect its land and airspace and to deal with any threat targeting the Kingdom.
However, Jordan's strength does not stop at the limits of military power; there is a state, institutions, and a Jordanian political and diplomatic leadership that moves according to a clear vision, protects national interests, and places Jordan's security and sovereignty above all else.
Historically, Jordan has proven that it is capable of overcoming the most difficult regional circumstances without abandoning its principles or allowing itself to be turned into a party in others' conflicts.
Jordan's security is a red line, not because it seeks escalation, but because the Jordanian state realizes that leniency toward any aggression opens the door to greater dangers. Therefore, protecting borders, airspace, and citizens is not a situational stance, but a firm state policy.
On the other hand, Iran's continued policy of pressure, threats, and targeting neighboring countries will not change a fundamental fact: that the countries of the region have become more aware of the danger of transferring conflicts to their territories and more committed to their right to protect their security and sovereignty.
Jordan wants relations based on mutual respect, non-interference, and good neighborliness. These are not exaggerated political demands, but basic rules for any normal relations between states.
As for the countries of the region turning into arenas for exchanging messages or settling scores, this is unacceptable Jordanian, Arab, and international behavior.
The final message that must be delivered clearly is that Jordan does not attack anyone, but it will not allow anyone to attack it.
This is the equation of the Jordanian state, which combines wisdom and strength, diplomacy and readiness, and a commitment to stability and full preparedness to defend the homeland.
Jordan will remain, with its Hashemite leadership, its Arab Army, its security apparatuses, and its national institutions, an independent state with its own decision-making and sovereignty, and it will not be a corridor for conflicts nor an arena for settling scores.
Jordan wants peace and stability, but it knows how to protect them. And whoever tests Jordan's ability to protect its security and sovereignty knows well that behind this homeland stands an Arab Army, a ready Air Force, and an impenetrable dam called Jordan.
