Jordan Thwarts Muslim Brotherhood Terror Plot Involving Rockets and Drones

Authorities arrest 16 suspects tied to a sophisticated attack plan with transnational links and advanced weapon production facilities.

Jordanian security forces dismantled a terrorist cell linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, arresting 16 suspects involved in plotting attacks within the kingdom.
The cell had developed rockets with a range of 3 to 5 kilometers and operated a drone manufacturing facility, signaling advanced tactical capabilities.
Suspects were trained and financed in Lebanon, with the cell's leader based there, highlighting cross-border collaboration in the plot.
Authorities linked the plot to broader regional instability, including alleged ties to Iran and its allies' efforts to destabilize Jordan.
The arrested individuals have been referred to the state security court for trial, as the government emphasizes the seriousness of the threat.
