In retaliation for the murder of Jordanian Captain Muath Kassasbeh by ISIS forces, Jordan’s King Abdullah promised a “relentless” war against ISIS on Thursday. Jordan’s military conducted airstrikes throughout Iraq and Syria, one day after the country executed two captives ISIS wanted returned in a prisoner exchange.

In a public showing of the country’s dedication to eradicating ISIS from the region, Jordan’s Foreign Minister, Nasser Judeh told CNN “We are upping the ante. We’re going after (ISIS) wherever they are, with everything we have.”

When asked if Jordan would commit ground troops to fight, Judeh did not take anything off the table, reiterating the operation will take “everything.” Jordan is calling the offensive “Operation Martyr Muath” and says there is no damage to their fleet after successfully striking numerous ISIS targets.

Jordanian television shared a statement by King Abdullah  from a security meeting, “We are waging this war to protect our faith, our values and human principles and our war for their sake will be relentless and will hit them in their own ground,” This comment comes after some in the Western world demanded public damnation of terrorist acts by Middle Eastern leaders.

Abdullah, known as the “Warrior King” in Jordan, served his military for 35 years, and also spent time as commander of Jordan’s special forces. Abdullah seemed confident in the training and resolve of his troops as they  fight a brutal enemy in ISIS.

The U.S. launched multiple strikes against ISIS targets in August, and on Thursday Speaker John Boehner suggested congressional support for U.S. military intervention against ISIS may come within the next week. Boehner is quoted as saying, “I’m expecting that there will be an authorization for the use of military force sent up here in the coming days. And we’re going to go through a rigorous set of hearings and continue to discuss it.”

Prior to direct military action, the U.S. are giving immediate financial assistance to help Jordan carry out successful operations. Boehner expects bi-partisan support in regards to military action in Iraq, but ISIS’ strongholds in Syria complicates matters.

Syria’s bloody civil war has not slowed, and rebel factions fighting against the Assad regime separated over the years, causing infighting amongst rebel groups. From Syrian chaos, the power of ISIS grew. Initially, the U.S. condemned Assad and debated the extent of U.S. aid to rebel groups, as it became difficult to ensure aid would land in the hands of allies on the ground.

As the U.S. spoke against the brutality of President Assad, Russia supported Assad publicly and in the form of Russian arms. With Syria reeling from nearly 200,000 deaths since violence erupted, Assad’s public appearances have been relatively non-existent.

Russia condemned U.S. air strikes in Syria in 2014, but pressure from multiple countries and war in Ukraine changed Russian prioritization of Syria, as the country spirals toward failed state status.  Jordan has made it clear they will continue their offensive against ISIS in both Syria and Iraq without hesitation and without restraint from other nations.
