Summary
Jordan’s government has banned the Muslim Brotherhood following the arrest of 16 members suspected of planning attacks on national security, including rocket and drone operations. Interior Minister Mazen al-Faraya announced the closure of the Brotherhood’s offices and confiscation of its assets, calling any related activities illegal, while the group’s political arm, the Islamic Action Front (IAF), claimed independence and commitment to the law. The Brotherhood, which has denied links to the alleged plots, continues to assert its peaceful approach despite previous legal challenges to its status in Jordan.
