Supporters of Jordanian authorities argue that smuggling allegations must be handled through formal legal channels and due process, not public accusation, maintaining that any border guard facing evidence of collusion should be investigated and tried under Jordanian law.

Supporters of Jordanian authorities argue that smuggling via drones and balloons is an external security threat, and that framing border guards as complicit serves smugglers' interests by eroding public trust in the kingdom's control of its frontier.
Supporters of Jordanian authorities argue that publicizing the smuggling surge and ordering arrests signals control, letting the state absorb blame through visible enforcement rather than concede systemic weakness.
Supporters of Jordanian authorities counter that scapegoating individual guards would shield the command structure from accountability, so the state must assert control over the narrative to preserve institutional leverage.
Supporters of Jordanian authorities argue that blaming individual border guards for drone and balloon smuggling is unfair, since the moral duty to stop trafficking lies with systemic reform—stronger cross-border oversight and accountability—rather than scapegoating personnel.
Supporters of Jordanian authorities argue that publicly accusing border guards of collusion without evidence is morally reckless, since it punishes individuals and erodes trust in those tasked with defending the border.

Supporters of Jordanian authorities argue that protecting the border is a sacred trust (amanah) before God, and they cite scripture's command to guard against corruption as grounds for holding accused guards accountable.
Supporters of Jordanian authorities counter that public trust is itself a sacred covenant, citing Quran 4:58's command to render trusts to their owners, and argue that accountability for guards accused of abuse upholds rather than dishonors that divine obligation.

Supporters of the accused border guards argue that smuggling via drones and balloons reflects a long history of border communities surviving through cross-border trade, and they contend that branding guards as collaborators ignores that cultural precedent.
Supporters of the accused border guards argue that Jordan's tribal culture of hospitality and honor makes betrayal of the border unthinkable, framing the collusion claims as an insult to a community's longstanding role in guarding the frontier.
Supporters of the accused border guards counter that cross-border kinship ties long predate modern state lines, arguing that criminalizing tribal communities' customary movement treats their cultural heritage as a security threat.
Supporters of the accused border guards argue that collusion allegations lack evidentiary basis and that guards should be presumed innocent absent due process, pointing to the absence of documented proof in the Oct. 18 reports.
Supporters of the accused border guards argue that collusion allegations lack evidentiary basis, maintaining that smuggling via drones and balloons exploits terrain and technology beyond any guard's control.
Supporters of the accused border guards counter that invoking presumption of innocence rings hollow when the men remain detained without charge, arguing Jordanian law requires either formal charges or release, not indefinite custody.
Supporters of the accused border guards argue the collusion claims are a power play by rivals to deflect blame for failing interdiction, since drones and balloons crossing the border point to systemic gaps, not complicit guards.
Supporters of the accused border guards argue that scapegoating low-level personnel is a convenient power play, letting senior officials deflect blame for security failures while quietly preserving the smuggling networks that enrich those above them.
Supporters of the accused border guards counter that blaming external smugglers conveniently shields the officials who profit from the trade, since public trust is eroded by unpunished complicity, not by naming it.
Supporters of the accused border guards argue that branding them complicit without evidence violates the moral duty of fair judgment, maintaining that suspicion alone cannot justify condemning individuals who bear a sacred trust of guarding the frontier.
Supporters of the accused border guards argue that accusing personnel of collusion without evidence violates the moral duty of fair judgment, maintaining that suspicion alone cannot justify condemning individuals entrusted with guarding the border.
Supporters of the accused border guards counter that moral responsibility is personal: each guard swore an oath to protect the border, and shifting blame to "systemic reform" absolves individuals of the duty they freely accepted.
Supporters of the accused border guards invoke the sanctity of oath and trust, arguing that guarding the frontier is a sacred duty and that suspicion alone must not dishonor those who keep faith with the nation.
Supporters of the accused border guards invoke the religious duty of guarding the ummah’s frontiers with amānah (trust), arguing that smearing guards without proof undermines the moral order and communal trust that Sharia obliges Muslims to preserve.
Supporters of the accused border guards counter that religious obligation binds rulers and guards alike to due process, and that invoking sacred duty cannot excuse judging men outside the law God's justice demands.
