Lebanese President Joseph Aoun contacted King Abdullah II of Jordan on Wednesday to follow up on the investigation regarding the network arrested the day before in Jordan.

Linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, the group allegedly planned attacks after training some of its members in Lebanon.

Aoun called the king to "inform him of the results of the investigation" into the rocket manufacturing cell that was discovered in Jordan and expressed his "full willingness to coordinate and cooperate between the two countries," according to the presidential X account. The president, currently in Qatar, directed the justice minister, Adel Nassar, to contact his Jordanian counterpart regarding this investigation, to ensure smooth information exchanges and cooperation with Lebanese security services.

Jordan announced on Tuesday the arrest of 16 individuals linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, trained and funded in Lebanon.

They are accused of planning attacks inside the kingdom using rockets and drones. Authorities specified that at least one rocket was ready to be launched, as part of an operation monitored by security forces since 2021. A security source stated that the suspects are affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, Jordan's main opposition group, and that the cell leader responsible for training some of them is based in Lebanon.

The Muslim Brotherhood denied any connection to this alleged plot. On Tuesday, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam had already reached out to his Jordanian counterpart, Jaafar Hassan, to express "Lebanon's total willingness to cooperate with Jordanian authorities" and reaffirmed "the categorical refusal for the country to serve as a base or starting point for any action that could threaten the security of a brotherly or friendly country."
