Middle East Coalition Against Iran

Iran retaliated against Israel with a barrage of missiles and drones, which were intercepted by American, British, Israeli, and Jordanian forces. The Biden administration praised the successful operation but Middle Eastern allies remained quiet. Jordan, part of the coalition, is in a delicate position due to its proximity to both Iran and Israel. Saudi Arabia and the UAE shared intelligence with the U.S. to safeguard their airspace. Jordan's participation highlights its reliance on American and Israeli support despite historical criticism of Israel's actions.
