Saudi Arabia’s Al Arabiya channel quoted an official Jordanian source on Saturday evening as saying that Amman had informed Iraq that it would target what it called “Iranian militias” if they carried out attacks against Jordanian territory.
According to the source, Jordan also informed the Iraqi side of information regarding “plans by militias preparing to target its territory.”
The source added, according to the channel, that Amman expects Iraq to take the necessary measures to “stop these militias in their tracks.”
This comes amid escalating regional tensions, after Saudi Arabia , with US support, launched strikes targeting sites inside Iraq, which it said were in response to attacks on its territory attributed to Iraqi factions, despite the Baghdad government announcing an investigation into those attacks.
Jordan had previously announced that it had been attacked by drones, which it said came from the eastern side.
