The Hashemite royal family has zero motivation to assist a man who tried to bring down their government and who has advocated their assassination.

It is possible that he is not being protected but is receiving medical treatment while in custody. If so Jordan gets first shot at his execution and will not let him go. This would also solve a problem for Iran since he would be a real hot potato. Iran would not want to sever any ties with Jordan to protect him. Its not a bad choice for Iran. They can't be accused of hiding a terrorist and they didn't turn him over to the US or Iraq. The rest of the Arab world will be glad we or Iraq didn't get him but will not protest his hanging in Jordan. Iran would be under a lot of pressure if they tried to keep him. He should have went to the US MSM for help.

Interesting theory, and probably true if he is indeed in Jordan. I'm inclined to regard the story as disinformation.

Quite frankly Iran helping him also makes no sense, since he's the architect of Sunni on Shia violence in Iraq, and toes the al Qaeda (and traditional Sunni) line that Shi'ites are apostates and Shia is a tool of Christians and Jews to corrupt Islam.
