Amman will deal with the proposition taking into consideration its best interests. \"This is a noble stance ... we thank Iran for the offer that comes in light of [critical] economic conditions,\" the source said, adding however that Amman should also weigh its relations with the Arab Gulf, America and Europe, as well as Jordan\'s future interests.
