Iran's Attack Exposes Close Cooperation between Israel and Jordan
(Ynet News) Smadar Perry - Jordan's King Abdullah II wasn't seen, his voice was not heard, and all of the military activity carried out by the Jordanian Air Force pilots on Saturday night seemed to have taken place without his involvement. However, the king, the supreme commander of Jordanian security and intelligence establishments, was acting behind the scenes. Even before the Iranian attack on Israel, the king made it clear he would not allow the Iranians to operate in Jordanian territory as they do in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. According to reports, Israeli Air Force fighter jets and sophisticated electronic equipment targeted the Iranian UAVs in Jordanian airspace. Meanwhile, Jordanian aircraft flew to intercept Iranian drones making their way to Israeli territory. Sunni Muslim Jordan decided to take action against Shiite Muslim Iran in order to avoid becoming a puppet state like Iraq and to prevent the IRGC from roaming freely in its territory.
