The U.S. has deployed 3,813 troops to Jordan - nearly 20 percent more than in December. The increase in the number of American soldiers is taking place against the background of Israel's massacre in Gaza. It is argued that this could make Jordan a point of conflict between the United States and Iran. The US military has unrestricted access to military facilities in the country.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Jordan reported that "14 citizens of the country were killed and 17 others were missing" during the Hajj trip. They are said to have died due to extreme heat and dehydration. For reference, the expected climate for this year's Hajj was forecast to be 1.5-2 degrees [Celsius] higher than the average temperature in Mecca and Medina. The Saudi Ministry of Health has asked pilgrims not to be outdoors between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. due to the sudden rise in temperature.

Jordan's Queen Rania said she sympathized with Israeli women whose children, including Israeli army soldiers, are being held captive by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas in Gaza.

King Abdullah II of Jordan commented that he helped Israel destroy Iranian missiles. According to the Jordanian leader, he does not want his country to become a theater of war and destroyed the Iranian missiles in order to ensure his security.

Royal Air Force pilot Salma Rania of Jordan said she shot down six drones on the day of the Iranian attack. His mother is Palestinian.

Jordanian Air Force planes parachuted humanitarian aid supplies to hospitals in the Gaza Strip. Aid included humanitarian cargo and food aid, including ready-to-eat meals with high nutritional value.

Richard Black, a former senator from the state of Virginia, reported that the strong Israeli lobby opposes the withdrawal of the United States from Syria and Iraq.

In response to the attack on its base, the US launched airstrikes against targets in Iraq and Syria belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and its affiliated paramilitary groups.

US bases in Syria have been attacked at least 83 times in the past month. Konico gas plant and Umar oil field in Deir ez-Zor, Seddadi, Hima and Harab Jir bases in Hasaka, as well as At-Tanf base in Homs became targets of attacks.

The United States has announced that it will take "multi-level and long-term" retaliation in response to the drone attack on the American base on the Syrian-Jordanian border that killed three of its soldiers and injured more than 30 others.
