Iran Goes Looking for Love in Jordan

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued statements to the Jordanian people professing solidarity and love following a strike on a U.S. military base in Jordan. The messages claimed Iran had no hostility toward Jordan and thanked unnamed Jordanians for providing targeting information. These overtures are part of Iran's effort to persuade the Arab public that an alliance with the United States is not beneficial. Iran perceives a shift in regional power dynamics since the start of the war with Israel and the United States.
