#4 IIRC, when Iraq invaded Iran in the 1980's there was a small border clash between Jordan and Syria. Syria had started moving troops to their border with Iraq, preparing to invade in support of Iran when Jordan mobilized on their border with Syria.
TL/DR: Jordan has a history of being anti-Syria and anti-Iran. The UN is just a screwed up mess.
