Iran's Foreign Minister has arrived in Jordan in what is seen as an attempt to smooth relations between the two countries. Relations became strained when Jordanian authorities found an arms cache - including Iranian made rockets - allegedly smuggled into the country by Hamas militants.A number of Palestinian Hamas members were arrested and accused of plotting to use the smuggled weapons for attacks inside the country.
A palace statement only mentioned that Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, held separate sessions with King Abdullah II, Prime Minister Marouf al-Bakhit and Foreign Minister Abdul-Illah al-Khatib. The palace said the leaders discussed Tehran's nuclear program, Mideast peacemaking and Iraq's sectarian strife.
