U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Jordan's King Abdullah II discussed developments in Lebanon and Syria, according to Anadolu Agency.
Rubio thanked Abdullah for his "steadfast role in advancing regional security," the report said, reflecting Washington's continued reliance on Jordan as a diplomatic partner in managing regional crises across the Levant.
Jordan has long positioned itself as a mediating and stabilizing actor in Middle Eastern diplomacy, given its proximity to both Syria and the broader Levant, and its historical role in hosting discussions on regional security matters. The report did not provide a detailed readout of specific policy proposals discussed regarding Lebanon or Syria.
Anadolu Agency's account did not specify whether the discussion took place by phone or in person, nor did it include direct quotes from King Abdullah regarding the conversation's content.
The engagement comes amid continued international attention to stability in Lebanon and the situation in Syria, with the U.S. and regional partners periodically coordinating on diplomatic approaches to both countries' evolving political and security circumstances.
