## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, Jordanian leadership is likely to issue carefully worded statements reaffirming security cooperation with the US while stressing that Jordanian air defenses are focused on protecting national territory. Amman will attempt to reassure Washington that its bases remain viable while signaling to a skeptical public that it is not a passive launchpad for regional wars. This rhetoric aims to prevent domestic political blowback, protests, or parliamentary pressure to curtail US basing rights. Confirmation would be an address or statement by the king or prime minister highlighting both sovereignty and alliance obligations; denial would be conspicuous silence or calls from official channels to reconsider US basing agreements.

## Drivers

- Iranian missile and drone attacks directly targeting US-linked Jordanian air bases
- Jordan’s public admission of intercepting eight Iranian missiles in its airspace
- Historical domestic sensitivity in Jordan over foreign basing and Palestinian issues
- CENTCOM’s reliance on Jordan as a stable basing hub after Iraqi and Syrian complications
