**Jordan Reacts to Attack Plots by Banning Muslim Brotherhood**

Jordan takes a firm stance against the Muslim Brotherhood amid allegations of planning attacks, closing offices and confiscating assets.


In a significant escalation of tensions, the Jordanian government has officially banned the Muslim Brotherhood following allegations regarding its members' involvement in planning rocket and drone attacks targeting national security. This decision, announced by Interior Minister Mazen al-Faraya, includes the closure of all Brotherhood offices, confiscation of assets, and categorization of any activities by the group as illegal.

While the Brotherhood has denied any connections to the alleged plots, stating it adheres to a peaceful approach, the impact of this ban on its political arm, the Islamic Action Front (IAF), remains uncertain. The IAF, which has historically been the largest opposition group in Jordan's parliament, saw its headquarters raided by police in the wake of the announcement. In light of these developments, IAF officials assert their independence from the Brotherhood, reaffirming their commitment to the law and constitutional provisions.

The crackdown follows the arrests of 16 individuals accused of plotting attacks involving explosives and weapons, as well as the establishment of covert training and manufacturing facilities related to these plans. Authorities allege that Brotherhood members have engaged in activities that threaten national stability, a claim that the group refutes, maintaining its stance of non-violence.

The Muslim Brotherhood, which originated in Egypt nearly a century ago and has been banned in various Arab nations due to perceived threats, continues to be a complex and controversial player in the political landscape of Jordan.
