  "account": "On July 20, air raid sirens unexpectedly sounded in Amman, the capital of Jordan. Iran had launched four missiles, which were intercepted or fell in empty areas, according to the army. It is one of the latest examples of how the country has become, against its will and along with Kuwait, the main target of Tehran's missiles and drones in recent weeks of a rollercoaster (a mix of attacks, threats, and dialogue) that the Middle East has been experiencing. The situation has opened an unusual debate about the price Jordan pays for its close security alliance with the US and has generated the paradox that it is suffering attacks that, since June, Israel has not received. Israel, which promoted and initiated the war last February, hand in hand with Washington, and from where US planes take off to bomb Iran.",
  "summary": "Jordania ha sido el centro de atención indeseado en la reciente guerra del Oriente Próximo, según informes de El Pais. El pasado 20 de julio, se produjo un ataque sorprendente cuando Irán lanzó cuatro misiles contra Amán, capital de Jordania, aunque fueron interceptados o caíeron en áreas sin población. Este incidente subraya cómo Jordania, a pesar de su descontento, se ha convertido en la principal meta de los ataques de Teherán en las últimas semanas, marcadas por una serie de ataques, amenazas y diálogos en la región. El artículo destaca la paradoja de que Jordania, gracias a su estrecha alianza de seguridad con EE UU, está sufriendo estos ataques, mientras que Israel, que inició la guerra en febrero junto con EE UU, no ha sufrido los mismos ataques.",
