The messages of the interview of the Crown Prince of Jordan about Iran and the sensitive issues of the region

according to the international group Tasnim news agency, “Hussein bin Abdullah” Last week, in an interview with the Saudi Arabian TV channel, the Crown Prince of Jordan took a stand on some regional and international issues, including Tehran’s relationship with Jordan. This was the first interview of the Crown Prince of Jordan with a regional media. In this interview, he spoke for the first time about some important and sensitive issues in Jordan’s domestic and foreign fields. It is the basis of his country’s economy as well as entering new markets (being active in Iraq and Syria).

This prince further pointed to some economic problems in his country and emphasized that the consequences of the Arab Spring, The war in the neighboring countries and the Corona crisis are among the most important reasons for the economic problems in his country.

Hossein bin Abdullah’s stance on the developments in Gaza was also noted. In defense of Amman’s performance regarding the Gaza war, he emphasized that his country has launched a diplomatic campaign against Israel. He stated that since 2002, radical governments have come to power in Israel and the number of settlers has increased from 200 thousand to 500 thousand.

adopt such Positions by the Crown Prince of Jordan are unprecedented and arise from social pressures caused by the crimes of the Zionist regime against Gaza in the last eight months. The internal political environment of Jordan, where a significant part of its citizens are Palestinians, has seen massive anti-Israeli protests in recent months, and this has been effective in the position of the Crown Prince of Jordan against Tel Aviv.

Since 2009, when he was appointed as the crown prince, Hossein bin Abdullah has always refrained from expressing a clear opinion about political developments and has been more active in the field of activities related to educational and cultural affairs. His media activities were strengthened in recent years, but he still did not take a clear stance on political and regional issues. It was Iran. While pointing out that Amman wants good relations with Tehran based on good neighborliness and non-interference in internal affairs, Hossein bin Abdullah emphasized that “Iranian and Jordanian talks are ongoing in all cases and hopefully it will be fruitful.”

This was the first position of the Crown Prince of Jordan regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran, which can be evaluated as a positive sign in Tehran-Amman relations. This is while the relations between Iran and Jordan have seen ups and downs in recent decades, but in the new regional environment, signs of improvement and improvement in the relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Hashemite Jordan are emerging, which is more than anything due to the pursuit of the neighborhood policy in the 13th government.
