According to a statement from the Ministry's media office, the two sides discussed "the recent attack on a US military site in Jordan and its repercussions. They also examined various possible scenarios related to the security and military situation in the region."
Hussein emphasized "the necessity of continued communication and coordination between Baghdad and Riyadh to avert the danger of regional conflict and protect the security of both countries."
Furthermore, on Sunday, January 27, the US Army announced the killing of three of its soldiers and the injury of around 25 others in a drone attack targeting a base hosting US forces in Jordan.
