US backs continued Jordan-Syria cooperation against armed groups

The US State Department has expressed its support for continued cooperation between Jordan and Syria to confront armed groups and smuggling networks.

It added that the United States remains in regular contact with its Jordanian and Syrian partners regarding regional security, according to Asharq.

The department also stated that a stable and sovereign Syria that does not threaten its neighbors is vital for regional stability.

This comes amid Syria's rejection of recent Jordanian airstrikes in Daraa, which Damascus claims were carried out without coordination, while Jordan says its strikes target terrorist groups.
