Jordan says never regards Iran as ‘national threat’
AMMAN, Jordan (AA) – Jordan Prime Minister has said the country has never considered Iran a threat to its national security.
“We have never looked at Iran as a source of threats to our national security,” Bisher al-Khasawneh told the BBC in an interview.
The premier said Amman is seeking to establish good relations with Tehran.
“Jordan seeks to reach a formula of dialogue with Iran based on relations of neighborliness,” al-Khasawneh said.
Jordan’s relations with Iran were severely damaged after the Jordanian support to Iraq during its war with Tehran in the 1980s.
Iraqi officials recently revealed that Baghdad has hosted talks between Jordan and Iran to normalize their relations. There was no confirmation from both either Tehran or Amman.
