The Saudi Foreign Ministry praised on Wednesday the measures Jordan has taken to thwart plots aimed at undermining its security.
The Kingdom expressed its support for the steps the Jordanian government will take to consolidate its security.
Saudi Arabia stands in solidarity with Jordan against anything that may harm its security and stability, added the ministry.
Jordan arrested 16 members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood who were trained and financed in Lebanon and had plotted attacks on targets inside the kingdom involving rockets and drones, authorities said on Tuesday.
The authorities said at least one rocket was ready to be launched as part of an operation that had been under surveillance by security forces since 2021.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm in Jordan the Islamic Action Front became the largest political grouping in the parliament after last September's parliamentary elections, although most seats are still held by government supporters.
Security forces found a rocket manufacturing facility alongside a drone factory, according to a statement by the General Intelligence Department released on state media.
"The plot aimed at harming national security, sowing chaos and causing material destruction inside the kingdom," the statement said.
The suspects were referred to the state security court for trial.
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam told his Jordanian counterpart in a phone call his country was ready to cooperate with Jordanian authorities, shortly after suspects shown in a video aired by Amman said they had been trained in Lebanon.
