In a highly serious security development, Jordanian authorities have announced the filing of a terrorist plot described as one of the most dangerous threats to the kingdom’s security in recent years. Investigations revealed that members of the Muslim Brotherhood, designated as a terrorist organization in several countries, were among those involved — once again highlighting the covert role the group plays in destabilizing internal security.

Multi-Phase Plot… and Suspicious Funding

In an official statement published by the Jordan News Agency, the General Intelligence Directorate announced it had successfully thwarted terrorist plans that were already underway. These included the manufacture of rockets, firearms, and explosives, as well as a project to produce drones domestically.

Intelligence gathered since 2021 indicated the plot involved several phases, beginning with recruitment and training and extending to the importation of technical components from abroad to be used in the local assembly of advanced weapons. Authorities confirmed that one of the confiscated rockets was fully operational, suggesting the operation was imminent.

Overseas Training and Involvement of Brotherhood Members

According to a senior security source, some of the suspects received intensive training abroad, particularly in Lebanon, through unofficial channels believed to be linked to extremist groups.

The source added that several of the individuals belonged to the Muslim Brotherhood and were directly involved in preparing the sabotage operation.

Jordan’s intelligence service confirmed that 16 suspects have been arrested, and their cases referred to the State Security Court. Severe measures are expected, potentially targeting the broader political framework that provided them with protection and funding.

Homemade Drones and Missiles

One of the key revelations of the investigation was the existence of a full-fledged project to build drones inside Jordan, using tools and technologies — some smuggled from abroad. This marks a significant evolution in the type of threats Jordanian security agencies face, especially given the growing availability of advanced technology to extremist groups.

Authorities had previously thwarted several attempts in the past year to smuggle weapons by infiltrators linked to Iran-backed groups across the Syrian border, suggesting possible external support for the latest schemes.

The exposure of this plot comes amid rising tensions between Jordanian authorities and the Muslim Brotherhood, with repeated calls from parliament and civil society to dismantle the group’s organizational structure after a series of unlawful incidents during recent protests. These events, described as outside peaceful norms, included open incitement against the armed forces and security agencies.

Official and Popular Reactions

The Jordanian public strongly reacted to the case, with many expressing full support for what they described as “proactive and necessary” security measures on social media, while also calling for more transparency about the investigation’s details.

As of now, the Brotherhood has not issued an official statement regarding the allegations against its members, while political and public pressure mounts on the government to take tougher actions against the organization, which has long stirred controversy in Jordan.

Samih Eid, a political analyst specializing in the Muslim Brotherhood, stated that the latest revelations confirm the group in Jordan is no longer merely a religiously-inspired political entity, but now serves as a platform for dangerous agendas, including incitement, sabotage, and possibly armed action — as seen previously in Egypt.

He added that the involvement of Brotherhood members in such a large-scale conspiracy marks a dangerous shift in the group’s nature. While it once portrayed itself as a peaceful opposition, it is now clear that an internal faction is moving toward militarized confrontation.
