Abdullah reportedly told the Americans that the Russians "were shocked and understood they cannot mess with us" upon encountering Jordanian and Israeli F-16 fighters.
The king also purportedly said that the incident led to attempts to tighten coordination. Jordan and Russian exchanged communications, while Abdullah met the head of Mossad, reported MEE. "We discussed an idea on how to keep the Russians in their place," the king reportedly told Congress members.
Abdullah allegedly stated that Jordan spoke "on behalf of Israel" in discussions with Russia.
According to MEE, the king also said he had warned the Russians that “one bullet across the agreed border in the south, all gloves are off.”
- MEE further reported that Jordan sent special forces to participate in a covert action in Syria and that Abdullah had emphasized the importance of increasing coordination with Russia.
The news site on Friday reported a number of statements allegedly given by King Abdullah to the US in January, including that UK and Jordanian special forces were covertly fighting the Islamic State in Libya; that Iran exports weapons to unnamed African countries; that Turkey is sending terrorists to Europe as a matter of policy; and that UK and Jordanian special forces have been secretly working to battle militant groups in Somalia, particularly al Shabab.
