During the meeting, held at Al Husseiniya Palace and attended by Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, the King emphasized that Jordan is and will remain fine, noting that the Jordanian Armed Forces – the Arab Army continue to protect the Kingdom from any threats.

The King added: "I have full confidence in our security agencies; the interests of Jordan and Jordanians are our primary and ultimate goal."

He pointed to the importance of maintaining cooperation and coordination between state agencies to ensure readiness in dealing with developments and their economic impacts, guaranteeing a secure and strategic reserve of basic commodities.

Furthermore, the King stressed that Jordan’s position rejecting the war was clear from the beginning, and that the Kingdom has exerted all possible efforts for de-escalation and to prevent this war from occurring.

He renewed his condemnation of the unjustified Iranian attacks on Jordan and the Gulf states, asserting that the security of Gulf countries is fundamental to the security and stability of the region and the world.

The King welcomed the announcement of a ceasefire between the United States and Iran as a positive step toward de-escalating regional tensions. He affirmed Jordan's support for the efforts made by Pakistan to reach a permanent agreement addressing all issues that have led to regional instability.
