Jordan's Foreign Minister stated Thursday evening that there are no American bases in Jordan, asserting that US forces are present in the country solely within the framework of military cooperation between Jordan and Washington.
Jordan's Foreign Minister issued the denial on Thursday evening, asserting that the United States does not maintain military bases in Jordan and that American forces operate only within the framework of bilateral military cooperation. The statement comes amid a series of recent reports suggesting US military activity in Jordan, including an unverified report of a single impact at a US base in Jordan in late June, and unconfirmed Iranian claims of ballistic missile attacks on US bases in Jordan in July. The US Embassy in Jordan also urged American citizens to take shelter earlier this month due to aerial threats. The Foreign Minister did not address those reports directly. The denial underscores Jordan's efforts to clarify its military relationship with the United States amid regional tensions.
