Jordan has refuted US President Joe Biden’s statement that US forces were attacked in Jordan’s territory.
"The US [military] base that came under an attack is located outside Jordan," Jordanian Minister of Government Communications Muhannad Mubaidin told the Al Mamlaka television channel.
According to Miibaidin, the base is located in Syria’s al-Tanf area near the border with Jordan.
