BLACKEAGLE can you say why it's been rejected,? So basically iran was going to give 30 years oil and in return their citizens get to visit Shia places is that it?? I would accept that straight away that's totally gain unless there's something else.
Basically, in the two previous years, Jordanian economy got many hits but the major hit was cutting of Egyptian gas via a gas line which got exploded 14 times which costed Jordan $4 bn, frankly speaking, GCC didn't give Jordan aids this year due to Jordanian rejection to get more involved in Syria in favor of FSA which is not in Jordanian capability, hell... even Turkey called for NATO help and abstained from responding to Syrian provocations many times, Jordanian army is strong enough to deter and defend it's territories and not to invade other countries unless it was a coalition with a bunch of other countries, however Bahrain urgently called for helping Jordan and UAE promised to help along with KSA, Kuwait and Qatar, even Egypt promised to supply Jordan the contracted amount of gas as soon as possible. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean to sell out GCC, both the gov and people refused this offer right away despite the difficult situation, GCC have never hesitated to help Jordan but this time.
I would say they are right but they should consider the national interests of Jordan as well.
Visiting the Shia places is not want Iran really wants. Jordan have quite some uranium, and Iran needs a bit of it.
Actually Iran tried to build Hussainyat in Jordan through third parties many times and they were blocked.
