The brief
Iran has launched retaliatory strikes against US bases in the Middle East. The strikes include drone attacks on a US base in Bahrain and ballistic missiles intercepted by Jordan. The Jerusalem Post and Middle East Eye confirm the attacks. Jordan's military has also intercepted ballistic missiles from Iran, according to The Times of Israel.
The stakes are high for Jordan, which sees a greater threat from Israel than from Iran. The Atlantic Council asserts that Jordan’s military deterrence has collapsed. This complicates the regional dynamics, as Jordan's focus shifts away from Iran. The situation is further complicated by Jordan's perception of threats.
Foreign Policy notes that Jordan views Israel as a bigger threat than Iran. This shifts the focus away from the immediate conflict with Iran, potentially altering regional alliances and defense strategies.
