Jordan Takes Strict Measures Against the Muslim Brotherhood

جماعة الإخوان المسلمين

Jordanian authorities announced today the dissolution of the Muslim Brotherhood, the confiscation of its properties, and the closure of all its offices in the country. This step comes as part of strict security measures following the discovery of a cell manufacturing explosives in the capital, Amman, which was found to be linked to Hezbollah.

Official sources reported that security and intelligence operations contributed to uncovering this cell, which was planning to carry out sabotage operations that threaten national security. The individuals involved in the case have been pursued in cooperation with security agencies, resulting in the arrest of several.

A government official stated that the decision to dissolve the group comes as part of the Kingdom's efforts to maintain internal security and stability, noting that activities related to extremism and terrorism will not be tolerated in any form. The official emphasized that the government will enforce the law firmly to ensure the safety of citizens.

The decision has sparked widespread ramifications, with many observers considering it a step reflecting the rising tensions in the region and increasing security pressures. It is noteworthy that the Muslim Brotherhood has played a prominent role in Jordanian political life for decades, and this action may lead to significant changes in the political and social landscape of the Kingdom.

Observers noted that the dissolution of the group and the confiscation of its properties may have far-reaching effects on Islamic forces within Jordan, as well as on the political balances in the country, with expectations of potential reactions from the group's supporters.

Jordanian authorities continue to closely monitor security developments, reaffirming their commitment to maintaining the security and stability of the Kingdom and warning against any activities that could threaten public peace.
