Jordanian King Abdullah II bin al-Hussein says creating any conflict with the Islamic Republic is like playing with Pandora's box.

"Iran poses issues to certain countries, although I have noticed over the past month or so that the dynamics have changed quite dramatically. For the first time, I think Iran is less of a threat," King Abdullah of Jordan said in an interview with Newsweek.

The Jordanian King went on to urge a diplomatic solution to Iran's nuclear issue, arguing that the region has already suffered 'enough crises'.

"We're a country and a region that supports dialogue as opposed to conflict. If there is conflict with Iran, I'm not too sure where this is going to lead us. I think you're playing with Pandora's box," he added.

When asked if Jordan was 'willing to live with a nuclear Iran', King Abdullah proposed that the world should 'engage with the Iranians', warning that a military strike on Iran would only elicit a reaction from the country.

"I don't think that we can live with any more conflicts in this part of the world," King Abdullah concluded.

The West accuses Iran of pursuing a nuclear weapons program and uses the claim to drum up support for a military strike on the country. Tehran, however, persists in its position that its nuclear activities are aimed at peaceful applications and argues that as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) it is entitled to enrich uranium under the UN nuclear watchdog regulations.
