Two stories in Ammon News, posted an hour apart:

Jordan has received USD 75 million worth of grant, part of pledged USD 184 million, from the United States, Jordanian Ministry of Planning said on Tuesday,KUNA reported.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has transferred the grant to the Jordanian State Treasury, as part of the regular American financial support for the 2014 Jordanian State budget.

Amman received a previous installment amounting to USD 127 million in the end of last year, according to a deal signed with the American agency in September.

Washington allocated USD 633.20 million worth of aid for Jordan last year. The assistance includes USD 436 million in the form of regular grants in addition to USD 197.20 million for funding vital projects, executed by the American agency, and government ministries.
And:
His Majesty King Abdullah II has sent a cables to Supreme Leader of of Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President of Islamic Republic of Iran Hassan Rohani, congratulating their on the anniversary of the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Yes, I know that Jordan and Iran maintain diplomatic relations and the congratulations on national anniversaries is almost automatic, but the juxtaposition was interesting. Especially since I couldn't find  stories about any other nations congratulating Iran yesterday.

In February, however, there were a number of countries that congratulated Iran on the anniversary of its revolution, including Jordan, India, and Venezuela.
