The Pentagon said on Thursday that a meeting of the US-Jordan Joint Military Commission (JMC) in Washington discussed “the destabilizing impacts of ongoing conflicts within the region.”
The 44th JMC meeting, attended by US and Jordanian senior defense officials, also discussed the proliferation of Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UASs), the Pentagon said in a statement.
The Commission then tackled the importance of maintaining security along Jordan's borders with Iraq and Syria, the Pentagon added.
At the meeting, senior US officials expressed their government’s support for the modernization of Jordan's fleet of F-16 fighter aircraft.
“The US officials pledged to continue efforts to improve Jordan's air defense and ability to counter UASs, which will improve the interoperability and effectiveness of the Royal Jordanian Air Force,” the statement noted.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday said that more than a third of Israeli forces in Lebanon have withdrawn since the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.

Blinken, speaking to reporters in Paris, said that while challenges remain, the oversight mechanism put together by the United States and France to address concerns about ceasefire violations is working and functioning well.
