Jordan’s King Abdullah II has said that any potential agreement between the United States and Iran must guarantee the security of Arab countries, Al Jazeera reports.

Abdullah discussed with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Jarrah Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah “the strong ties between the two countries and ways of expanding cooperation in several fields, and intensifying joint Arab action to sustain de-escalation in the region,” a royal court statement said.

The Jordanian monarch said any agreement to reduce tensions “must guarantee the security of Arab countries”.

“The security of the Gulf is fundamental to the security and stability of the region and the world,” said Abdullah.
