Jordan’s Diplomatic Dilemma: Balancing Alliances with Iran and Israel in the Middle East

Despite tensions with Iran and protests from its own citizens, Jordan has been a close partner of the USA and has defended Israel against Iranian drones and missiles. The situation highlights the complexities of Jordan’s position in the region, as it navigates conflicts between two unfriendly neighboring states.

Jordan’s support for Israel was driven by its own interests and a desire to prevent regional escalation. However, this move has sparked internal dissent and divisions within the country. As tensions continue to rise in the region, Jordan will need to carefully manage its relationships with both Israel and Iran to ensure its national interests are protected.

The protests in Jordan demonstrate the challenges faced by a country caught in the middle of conflicts between two unfriendly neighboring states. Moving forward, Jordan will need to balance its strategic alliances with careful diplomacy to maintain peace and stability in the region.
