I'm not concerned with the mainstream media in the US, ...they are extremely lazy (for the most part).

I will concentrate on what is happening with Saudi Arabia currently. Qatar is seeing some heat over unflattering remarks by Al Jazeera on Saudi policy as well as allowing the US buildup.

The Wahhabi monarchy of the House of Saud (Salafi religion) has had its own problems lately with Shi'a protests and if you haven't noticed, ...they are aggressively seeking allies to counter our next move. Be expecting even more cooling in relations to the Saudi's.

Jordan's alignment with the US has many reasons. One of these is their dislike of the Salafi. Another is the money we loan them. Also, please note Washington isn't asking for the Palestinian land back that was annexed by Jordan of the East Bank area. Jordan knows how to play Washington to their benefit and always seem to remain cool when the rest of the middle east is boiling.

BTW, did you know the Syrians are assisting us now? What's your comment about them?
