Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi will visit Iran on Sunday to discuss the latest regional developments with his Iranian counterpart Ali Bagheri Kani following the Israeli assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Iranian state media reported. 

The Jordanian diplomat “will deliver a message from His Majesty King Abdullah II to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the situation in the region and bilateral relations,” the country's Foreign Ministry said in a statement, referring to Safadi's attempt to prevent an escalation of tensions in the region.

Safadi's meeting with Bagheri Kani and other Iranian senior officials in Tehran will mark the first time a senior Jordanian official visits the Islamic Republic for the first time in 20 years, the IRNA news agency reported. The last time a top Jordanian diplomat made an official visit to Iran was in 2004 with former Prime Minister Faisal al-Fayez.

Recent regional tensions

Tensions in the Middle East are significantly rising due to "Israel's" aggression on Iran and Lebanon, with the assassination of Haniyeh in Tehran that occurred on Wednesday just hours after the occupation targeted senior Hezbollah commander Fouad Shokor in Haret Hreik, the Southern Suburb of Beirut. 

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry called on all Jordanian nationals in Lebanon to leave as soon as possible and urged those planning to travel to Lebanon not to do so, citing “the developments taking place in the region” and concerns for citizen safety in fear of a full-blown war with the Israeli regime.

Both Hamas and Iran vowed to retaliate against "Israel's" assault in Tehran against the Palestinian Resistance leader, while Safadi described the occupation as a "rogue state" for its heinous act.

In April, Jordan aided the US-led coalition in intercepting of Iranian missiles launched toward "Israel" in retaliation for the occupation striking an Iranian general in Syria.
