Safadi says ‘we are united in rejecting Iran's nuclear ambitions, condemn Israeli aggression’
AMMAN — Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi said on Wednesday that the top priority now must be to de-escalate rising tensions between Israel and Iran, warning that war would not bring security or peace to any party involved.
Speaking at a joint press conference with German Foreign Minister Johann David Wadephul in Berlin, Safadi cautioned that a military conflict between the two countries would spark broader instability across the Middle East, with potentially grave consequences for the entire world.
Safadi reaffirmed Jordan’s rejection of Israeli aggression against Iran, calling it a “blatant violation of international law and international legitimacy.”
“All of us agree that we do not want to see Iran acquire nuclear weapons,” Safadi said, reiterating Jordan’s consistent stance in favor of establishing a nuclear- and WMD-free zone in the Middle East.
He also highlighted the importance of reviving negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme, urging a return to dialogue as a means to reduce tensions and address key regional issues fueling conflict.
Safadi underlined Jordan’s efforts, in collaboration with to Germany, the European Union, and the broader international community in to end cycles of violence and conflict in the region.
“The region is on the brink of a major explosion,” he warned.
While global attention is focused on the potential escalation between Israel and Iran, Safadi urged the international community not to lose sight of the daily bloodshed continuing in Gaza.
He also underscored the need to create conditions that would allow Syria’s new government to rebuild a safe, stable nation that poses no threat to its neighbors.
“We agreed with Germany to work jointly toward halting the escalation in the region,” Safadi said, reaffirming Jordan’s unwavering position on the urgent need to establish a nuclear-free Middle East.
