Jordanian Political, Military Figures Protest against US Army Presence

International

A large number of Jordanian political and military figures in a statement underlined their opposition to the presence of the US forces in their country, and said Jordan will not be turned into a base for aggression against Syria, according to FNA.

“Attempts to involve Jordan in a military attack against Syria are a plot to destroy the country and push the Syrian and Jordanian armies into direct confrontation,” a statement by the Jordanian figures said on Wednesday.

“The US and Israel accompanied by the oppressor powers of certain Gulf states are striving to engage Jordan in certain plans which run counter to our nation’s will,” it added.

The Jordanian figures called on the government to provide the ground for the withdrawal of the US forces from their country.

Iran has also warned the US against its decision to deploy hundreds of military forces in Jordan to support the opposition groups in Syria, and said any foreign intervention in the Muslim country will harm the Syrian people.

“Any measure in line with military activities and military intervention in Syria will be against the Syrian people’s interests,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said in a weekly press conference in Tehran last month.

He reiterated that the only solution to the Syrian crisis is non-interference of the foreign states in the country.

US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on April 17 that Washington is sending 200 troops to Jordan to help contain the violence in Syria, fueling speculations that the US is setting the stage for an intervention in the Arab country.
