Press TV- The Iranian and Jordanian heads of state have reportedly held a brief meeting on the sidelines of an special summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Turkey.
Iran's Tasnim news agency reported the meeting between PresidentHassan Rouhani and Jordan's KingAbdullah II in Istanbul on Friday.
In September 2003, Iran's then presidentMohammad Khatami met with KingAbdullah II in Tehran.
King Abdullah II is a pro-Western monarch but Amman's ties with the US and Saudi Arabia have recently been shaken over the issue of Palestine.
Riyadh's reported coziness to Israel has worried Jordan which is in charge of the major Muslim shrine complex on the Temple Mount, the al-Aqsa Mosque.
Jordan is also part of the US-led coalition that has been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be Daesh targets inside Syria and Iraq since 2014 without a UN mandate.The coalition has repeatedly been accused of killing civilians and failing to eliminateDaesh.
