According to a report, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar do not want to support the US in a possible Israeli retaliation against Iran. The reason is probably a threat from Iran.
As the Wall Street Journal reports, citing U.S. and Arab officials, the four countries where U.S. troops are stationed have told the government in Washington that their military infrastructure or airspace is not controlled by the U.S. or Israel. Offensive operations will likely be used against Iran. .
Waiting for Israeli response
Israel has threatened Tehran with “lethal and precise” retaliation after the mullahs’ regime fired around 200 rockets into Israel in early October. The WSJ now reported, citing Arab officials, that in this case Iran would respond with devastating attacks on Israel’s civilian infrastructure and retaliate against any Arab state that supported the attack.
Although the Iranian threats were vague, they raised concerns in oil-rich states that their oil facilities could be hit. U.S. military facilities and forces in the region could also be at risk.
The US wants to prevent wildfires
The US supports Israel’s right to self-defense but insists on limiting the response to prevent fighting from spreading across the region. The governments in Tel Aviv and Washington have moved closer to planning a possible retaliatory strike, according to a media report. A telephone conversation between American President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also contributed to this.
