Hundreds of Jordanians sign an open letter calling on the government to withdraw US forces, citing security and national interest concerns linked to regional missile and drone threats. The letter argues that the US military presence leaves Jordan exposed to risks associated with potential attacks intended for other targets, including missile and drone pressure attributed to Iran. Supporters say the arrangement does not serve Jordan’s national interests and could carry political and economic consequences for the country. In one account, the letter describes the situation as aligning with what Iran “intended,” asserting that Jordan should not be placed in harm’s way due to its relationship with US forces.
The open letter is presented as an unusually direct public challenge to the Jordanian government. The signatories call for policy changes aimed at protecting sovereignty and reducing the likelihood of Jordan becoming a target under the backdrop of wider regional tensions. Both outlets frame the effort as a coordinated civil response rather than an official government position, and they highlight the public demand for a reassessment of Jordan’s security alignment in the face of missile and drone threats.
