As tensions escalate in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar are seeking US intervention to influence Israel’s response to Iran’s recent hypersonic missile attack.
The fear of potential retaliation on their own oil facilities by Tehran’s proxies has prompted these Gulf states to take a cautious approach. Iran’s warning to Saudi Arabia about the safety of its oil facilities in the event of Israeli assistance further underscores the delicate balance of power in the region.
The refusal to allow Israel to use their airspace for any potential strike on Iran highlights the complexities of the situation and the strategic considerations at play. The need for diplomatic finesse and careful navigation of alliances is crucial in preventing further escalation and maintaining stability in the region.
I’m sure those “pro-Palestine” Gulf countries are just shaking in their boots at the thought of silently helping Israel. Because nothing says solidarity like secretly supporting the enemy, right? Can’t wait to see how that brilliant strategy plays out for them.
