Hafez al-Assad's Withdrawal
The article discusses the attempts by Syrian President Hafez al-Assad to threaten Jordan in 1980. He mobilized his army along the border in response to Jordan's support for Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War and its sheltering of Syrian Muslim Brotherhood leaders seeking refuge in Jordan. Hafez al-Assad also sent an intelligence cell to assassinate Jordanian Prime Minister Mudar Badran, and those involved were captured, with details of the conspiracy uncovered. Additionally, Jordanian political prisoners expressed their readiness to volunteer to defend their homeland. In response, the Jordanian army deployed its forces, leading to clashes between the two armies in 1970, which ultimately resulted in negative consequences for the Syrian regime at the time.
