Jordan is mulling a significant military intervention in southern Syria
More proof of what I''ve been saying all along. The Arab world and neighbors of Syria, and international community absolutely oppose rebel victory and support Assad regime. If rebels create a miracle and bring him down everyone in the world will attack them.

Jordan is mulling a significant military intervention in southern Syria
- The civil war in Syria has reached such a tipping point for one of the most stable and US-friendly regimes in the Middle East.
The Jordanian military is actively implementing plans to create a humanitarian buffer zone in the south of the country, Sam Jones, Roula Khalaf and Erika Solomon report for the Financial Times.
Jordan's military envisions an operation that would set up a humanitarian corridor in the southern Syrian provinces of Deraa and Suwayda.
The Assad regime is currently in nominal control of these provinces. But a coordinated rebel offensive, consisting in large part of fighters from the Al Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra, has sparked concern in Jordan that a full-scale Syrian withdrawal from the area could occur, provoking chaos along the border.
Jordan worries that jihadists could establish a permanent foothold along the country's border with Syria, or sue the area for attacks on the country's generally pro-US monarchy.
As the FT reports, Jordanian leaders want to "avoid 'another Idlib'" in the region, a reference to the March withdrawal of the Assad regime from the northern city in the face of a rebel and jihadist offensive.
"Diplomats say Amman and its international allies are keen to avoid 'another Idlib', referring to the Assad regime’s withdrawal from the city in March; jihadis soon took advantage of the retreat and established a strong presence there," according to the report.
