(1,526 posts)Saudi, Bahrain, Qatar have communicated that they are not participating. Iran was told by Saudi Arabia that there air fields would not be used. But now Iran has launched missions into Saudi Arabia. The missions were intercepted, but if Iran continues to launch into Saudi Arabia, the Saudis become a risk factor to launch strikes on Iran.

(1,526 posts)Iran could have attacked Israel. The Middle East countries would likely have supported Iran at least verbally.
Instead theyve now attacked 8 countries. Its crazy. Including Oman, which is known as the Switzerland of the Middle East. Those countries will likely now withdraw their neutral stance and provide support 5o the US.

(28,706 posts)There are quite a few countries in the region who would love to see the current Iranian regime replaced... though few want to explicitly back a military option when they know they themselves will be targeted as a result.
From Iran's perspective, it's any country hosting an American military base and/or that has joined in a peace deal with Israel.
