US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on Tuesday to discuss regional security concerns, including Iran’s recent attacks in the region.
The US State Department said Rubio condemned Iran’s attacks on shipping and its strike on Jordanian territory. He also thanked Safadi for Jordan’s role in supporting regional security efforts.
The meeting in Washington came amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, with both sides continuing to exchange attacks despite efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement.
The talks also followed the US Central Command’s announcement of another round of strikes against Iran, which it said targeted capabilities linked to attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has responded with attacks on US military positions in the region, including a base in Jordan.
