In an October 24, 2024 appearance on Al-Arabiya Network (Saudi Arabia), former Jordanian Minister of Information Samih Al-Maaytah stated that Iran needs to honor the sovereignty of Arab countries rather than pursue expansionism. He noted that if Iran focuses on its internal issues, about 75% of its problems with the Arab world could be resolved. However, he expressed distrust of Iran if it tries to establish a militia or carry out attacks in Jordan, declaring, “Our problem with Iran is not Palestine.”
