From the ancient ruins of Petra to the spiritual heart of Amman, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has raised a clear and courageous voice against the recent U.S. nuclear missile strike on Iran.

While Jordan has long walked a tightrope of diplomacy in a volatile region, this moment transcends geopolitics. It is about human survival, moral clarity, and regional dignity.

“To strike Iran with nuclear fire is to scorch the hopes of the Middle East,”
said a senior Jordanian diplomat in an emergency Arab League session.

Jordan stands with Iran—not out of alliance, but out of conscience.

1. Jordan–Iran Relations: Tension, Dialogue, and Shared Heritage

Though historically cautious in its engagement with Iran, Jordan has maintained diplomatic relations and supported dialogue over discord. In recent years, cultural and academic exchanges between Jordanian and Iranian institutions have quietly grown.

Religious scholars and poets from both countries have exchanged works of mysticism and theology, particularly in shared admiration of Rumi, Al-Ghazali, and Ibn Arabi.

2. Royal and Religious Responses

King Abdullah II, known for his moderation and moral diplomacy, released a statement denouncing the nuclear strike as “a violation of divine and human law.”

The Royal Hashemite Court declared three days of mourning for Iranian civilians and called for a global ban on nuclear first strikes.

Imams in Amman, Zarqa, and Irbid have delivered Friday sermons condemning the attack and urging Arab unity in opposing nuclear aggression.

3. Youth, Refugee Communities, and Artists Respond

Young Jordanians, many of whom have grown up amidst war and displacement, have been particularly vocal. Graffiti across downtown Amman reads:

“Tehran, we know your pain — Amman bleeds with you.”

Syrian and Iraqi refugees in Jordan have joined vigils, recognizing their shared experience of foreign bombings and civilian trauma.

Jordanian musicians released a track titled “Dust and Dignity,” blending Arabic oud and Persian santoor as a call for solidarity.

4. Parliament and Regional Diplomacy

The Jordanian Parliament passed a rare unanimous resolution condemning the attack and urging the Arab League and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to take immediate action.

Jordan has offered to host an extraordinary interfaith summit in Amman to denounce the weaponization of religion and to promote non-violent dialogue.

Conclusion

Jordan, a land of prophets and refugees, knows the value of life, voice, and mercy.

To the people of Iran, Jordan says:

“We disagree in doctrine,
but we unite in dignity.
We speak different tongues,
but we cry the same tears.
From the Kingdom of the Hashemites to the Republic of Resistance—
we are with you.
And we will not forget.”
