Iran: The UAE and Jordan do not have the military capabilities to participate in a coalition against us internationals 2022-07-08 | 08:00 1,377 views Alsumaria news - Follow-up : The adviser to the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Kamal Kharazi, said that the UAE and Jordan do not have the military capabilities to participate in an alliance against Iran or to fight a regional war. Kharazi considered that "the idea of forming a Middle Eastern "NATO" alliance is inappropriate and deals a strong blow to the security of the region," stressing that "we will not allow NATO to operate near our borders and consider it a threat to our security." He stressed, "We prefer to deal with the principle of good neighborliness and we recommend the countries of the region not to bow to Washington," adding that "the UAE and Jordan do not have the military capabilities to participate in an alliance against Iran or fight a regional war." Kharazi expressed his hope for "positive results in the dialogue with Saudi Arabia," noting that "Washington has failed in its policies and we rule out any real results for US President Joe Biden's visit to the region." And Jordan's King Abdullah II announced last month that he supports the establishment of a Middle Eastern "NATO" alliance, provided that its missions are very clear.
