Hundreds of Jordanian public and religious figures are calling for the expulsion of US military forces from Jordan and for the kingdom to maintain neutrality between the United States and Iran, according to a report. The statement also accuses the 'Zionist enemy' of committing genocide.
A group of hundreds of Jordanian public and religious figures issued a statement calling for the expulsion of US military forces from Jordan and for the kingdom to adopt a neutral stance between the United States and Iran, according to a report circulating on Wednesday. The statement also denounces Israel, referring to it as the 'Zionist enemy,' and accuses it of committing genocide.
The call reflects a broader campaign of pressure on Jordan, which has been a target of Iranian messaging urging the kingdom to sever its military ties with Washington. As The Zioneer has previously reported, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) called on Jordanians to push US forces out of the country on July 14, and warned Jordan on July 17 that it must remove US bases or face a severe attack. Unverified reports on July 22 indicated that Iran launched missiles toward Jordan.
The current statement from Jordanian figures adds a domestic dimension to the external pressure, though it is unclear how widespread the sentiment is among the Jordanian public or government. The report has not been independently verified.
