Food Security: Jordan’s wheat and barley harvest intake hit about 110,000 tonnes so far, with total deliveries expected at 130,000–140,000 tonnes, the biggest in nearly 15 years. Regional Security: Amman condemned a Houthi attack on a Saudi vessel in the Red Sea and reiterated support for Riyadh, as tensions keep spilling into maritime routes. Local Economy: Foreign direct investment into Jordan rose 25% over the past year, with officials linking the jump to stability and cross-border logistics.
