Send in the sniffing dogs first

That is what the Jordanian monarch is. Just a sniffing dog to chart unknown territory and observe Iranian response.

I have heard from those older than me that his father actually pimped for the late Shah of Iran.

So the sons job is not much different, but just in another area.

basically a satellite of the US but the US is AMBIVALENT about MKO while Jordan is taking a clearer stand. It may be a HORRIBLE stand but at least it's a somewhat independent stand.

If they had balls...

"12 Jordanian lawmakers on Sunday attended a rally in Paris calling on the European Union and the United States to remove the MKO, the largest armed Iranian group, from terrorism blacklists."

If the Jordanian government members had balls, then they would arrange and participate in such a rally in their own country.
