伊朗对约旦进行了数百次无人机和导弹袭击,直指该国的美军基地1。这一行动对美国与其中东关键盟国约旦的关系构成严峻考验。约旦作为美国在中东的重要战略伙伴,主要通过与华盛顿的安全合作来应对伊朗威胁,尽管面临反复袭击风险,约旦领导层仍坚持维护这一伙伴关系。
根据2021年签署的防务合作协议,美国获得了在约旦12个军事设施的使用权1。约旦每年预算至少8%、即约14.7亿美元来自美国援助1。穆瓦法克·萨尔蒂空军基地是美国关键的物流枢纽,部署有C-17运输机和约60架战斗机1。约旦外交官艾曼·萨法迪在维也纳表示:"伊朗一直在攻击我们和该地区许多其他国家"1。2025年,北约将在中东开设首个联络处,位置就在约旦1,这进一步凸显了约旦在美国中东战略中的重要地位。
Iran has conducted hundreds of drone and missile attacks targeting U.S. military installations in Jordan, creating significant strain on the strategic relationship between Washington and one of its most important Middle Eastern allies 1. The Kingdom faces the challenge of maintaining its security partnership with the United States while enduring repeated Iranian aggression, a balancing act that underscores the pressures confronting American-aligned regional powers.
Jordan's reliance on U.S. security support is substantial and multifaceted. Under a defense cooperation agreement signed in 2021, the United States maintains access to twelve military facilities across Jordanian territory 1. The financial dimension of this alliance is equally significant, with American aid comprising at least 8 percent of Jordan's annual budget, amounting to approximately $1.47 billion 1. The country has positioned itself as a critical logistics hub in regional operations, with Muwaffaq Salti Air Base serving as a key facility for U.S. C-17 transport aircraft and approximately 60 fighter jets 1.
Despite the mounting security threats, Jordanian leadership remains committed to the U.S. partnership. Jordanian diplomat Ayman Safadi stated in Vienna that "Iran has been attacking us and many other countries in the region" 1, reflecting the kingdom's broader concerns about Iranian regional activity. The strategic importance of Jordan to American interests in the Middle East is further underscored by NATO's establishment of its first liaison office in the Middle East, located in Jordan, in 2025 1.
