U.S. Sources: Situation with Iran "More Dangerous Than Ever" - Jordan News
U.S. Sources: Situation with Iran "More Dangerous Than Ever" According to a report by The Washington Post, U.S. officials have raised alarms about an increasingly volatile situation in the Middle East, citing the potential for an imminent Israeli strike on Iran. The sources revealed that American embassies and military bases across the region have been placed on high alert in anticipation of possible retaliatory scenarios. اضافة اعلان 'We are monitoring the situation closely, and we believe it is more dangerous than ever,' the sources stated. In parallel, Politico reported that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized the voluntary departure of military families across the Middle East, a precautionary move in light of rising tensions. Earlier, The Associated Press cited U.S. officials confirming that the State Department is preparing to evacuate non-essential personnel and diplomats' families from embassies in Baghdad, Bahrain, and Kuwait. These developments come amid the collapse of nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, with both sides exchanging increasingly hostile rhetoric. Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasser Zadeh, responding to threats of military action, declared: 'We hope the negotiations succeed. But if conflict is forced upon us, the other side's losses will be far greater than ours. We have the capability to strike every U.S. base in the region — we will not hesitate.' Meanwhile, in an interview with the New York Post published Wednesday, President Donald Trump admitted: 'I'm becoming less confident about reaching a deal' with Iran on its nuclear program. The statements underscore a deteriorating diplomatic landscape, with military posturing on both sides suggesting that regional conflict may be closer than at any point in recent years.

Iran thanks Jordan for its stance after 'Israeli' attack
Jordan's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi held a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Dr. Abbas Araghchi on Thursday, during which he strongly condemned the 'Israeli' aggression against Iran, calling it a dangerous escalation and a violation of international law. According to an official readout, Safadi reiterated Jordan's firm rejection of the attack, describing it as a 'serious breach of Iran's sovereignty' and warning that such provocations risk dragging the region into a broader conflict. He also stressed the need for collective efforts to de-escalate tensions and prevent the region from sliding into 'a new regional war that threatens both regional and global peace.' The Iranian foreign minister, for his part, thanked Jordan for its 'clear and principled stance' in condemning the 'Israeli' strikes and for rejecting any further escalation that could destabilize the region. Safadi emphasized that while Jordan continues to condemn 'Israeli' aggression and advocate for calm, it will not tolerate any violation of its own sovereignty or threats to the safety of its citizens. He made it clear that Jordan 'will not be a battlefield for any party' and will respond decisively to any breach of its airspace, whether by 'Israel' or Iran. 'This is a firm and longstanding Jordanian position,' Safadi added, 'and both Israel and Iran are fully aware of it.' The Jordanian foreign minister also stressed that de-escalation can only be achieved by addressing the root causes of conflict in accordance with international law. He reiterated Jordan's position that lasting security in the region depends on upholding the sovereignty of all states and ensuring the legitimate rights of peoples, especially the Palestinian people's right to freedom, security, and an independent state on their own land.
