Jordan faces growing risk of becoming latest frontline state in US-Iran conflict

Jordan has faced renewed missile attacks from Iran, with three Iranian missiles intercepted by its air defense system. This follows an earlier attack that killed two U.S. service members at a U.S. military base in Jordan. Jordan, which hosts U.S. military facilities, is increasingly caught between its strategic alliance with the U.S. and its desire to maintain regional neutrality. Analysts note that Jordan's position is precarious due to its reliance on U.S. support while facing Iranian threats. The kingdom has escalated diplomatic pressure by summoning Iran's envoy to demand an end to attacks. Despite hosting thousands of U.S. troops under a new defense agreement, Jordan's foreign minister denies the existence of foreign military bases, suggesting tensions over U.S. influence.
