Jordan and Syria have expressed readiness to launch a military response against pro-Iranian groups in the region, according to a security-focused channel. Both countries are mobilizing forces as tensions with Iran-backed militias escalate.
The statement from Amman and Damascus marks a potential escalation in the regional standoff with Iran-backed militias. It follows a report earlier Sunday that Jordan had gone to its highest alert level and warned Iraq of a planned attack by the Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces), as The Zioneer reported. The latest development suggests both Jordan and Syria are now preparing for possible military action against pro-Iranian groups operating near their borders. Syria's readiness is notable given its own complex relationship with Tehran, which has backed the Assad regime throughout the civil war. The situation remains developing, and it is unclear whether the expressed readiness will translate into immediate military operations.
