Jordanian figures demand withdrawal of US forces and cancellation of military agreement

Hundreds of Jordanian political, legal and public figures have urged the government to withdraw U.S. forces from Jordan and cancel a military agreement, warning the presence of American troops threatens Jordanian sovereignty. Signatories say Iran-backed attacks in recent weeks, including missiles and drones targeting U.S. installations, have increased risks for Jordan and could pull the country into a regional conflict. Jordan hosts about 4,000 American troops and relies heavily on U.S. military and economic assistance.
