Jordan's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Maj. Gen. Yousef Huneiti, held talks with US Sen. Joni Ernst, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, on Sunday to discuss the latest security developments in the Middle East.
The meeting, held at the General Command headquarters in Amman, focused on enhancing military and defense cooperation between Jordan and the United States, including expanding joint training programs and strengthening the exchange of military expertise, according to the Jordan News Agency.
The discussions come as Jordan continues to play a key role in regional security. Since the escalation of tensions involving Iran, the US and Israel, the Jordanian Armed Forces have intercepted numerous drones and missiles that entered the Kingdom's airspace. Last month, Jordan also intercepted several Iranian missiles reportedly targeting US forces stationed at Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Azraq.
US Ambassador Jim Holtsnider, the US defense attaché in Amman, and senior Jordanian Armed Forces officials also attended the meeting.
