AMMAN, Jordan — Many Jordanians would disagree with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi’s description that bilateral relations between Amman and Tehran are “at their best.” The Iranian official paid a rare visit to the Jordanian capital on Tuesday, May 7, where he met with King Abdullah II, Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour and Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh.
Jordan’s official news agency disclosed little details about Salehi’s meeting with the king. In a brief news release, it said the situation in the Middle East — especially the latest developments in Syria — efforts to secure peace in the region and bilateral relations were discussed during the meeting.
