Arab countries have called on Iran not to attack US military bases on their territory.

The American press reports that four Arab states have appealed to the United States and Iran to de-escalate and prevent mutual attacks. These countries are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and Oman.

The authorities of these states, addressing the United States, highlighted the region's vulnerability to a new large-scale exchange of strikes. These same countries also sent a statement to Tehran declaring "the inadmissibility of attacks on American bases located on their territory." They asserted that this would lead to an "escalation of the conflict" and that they would view such strikes as attacks on their countries.



US Press:

Two diplomatic sources said Iran had explicitly notified several countries that they would be targets of Iranian rocket strike in the event of a US strike. The US embassies in Qatar and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday urged Americans to avoid visiting military bases in their countries.

Earlier, US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dan Kaine announced that the bulk of American forces had been withdrawn from a number of bases in the Middle East, including the largest US military base in the region, Al Udeid in Qatar. This base typically houses up to 10 American soldiers and officers. According to Kaine, "only a handful remains."

As Military Review previously reported, Trump stated that the US "does not plan to strike Iran." But if Iran executes the detainees, he (Trump) will be "very angry."

Indirect confirmation that Washington has not abandoned its attacks on Iran may be the continued movement of the US Navy's carrier strike group to the Middle East. Also indirect confirmation may be the US's inability to return the military contingent withdrawn from Middle Eastern bases. Accordingly, Trump's statements may well be disinformation intended to weaken Tehran's vigilance and weaken its resolve. Moreover, it seems that Trump himself doesn't know what he'll do tomorrow—his statements are increasingly contradictory.

      The Iranians need to respond to this.
      - Well, clean up the garbage dumps at these coordinates, then you won't have to help with the cleanup.

      hi It is strange that Uncle Xi and his entire large apparatus, along with military, economic and human resources, the main beneficiary, both in the Western Hemisphere and in the Eastern Hemisphere, including the Middle East, are silent while the Russian Federation is distracted by the participation of the Russian Armed Forces in the North-Western-Communist Operation and cannot adequately assist and help the Islamic Republic of Iran in defending its independence and sovereignty.

    As for establishing bases on our own territory, fine, but as for getting hit by them, well, no. This isn't a game; you need to think about the consequences when you're lying down to the Americans.

      They're looking for profit. The Americans pay for these bases. But when it comes to counterattacks, the eternal "what for?"

        I'm not sure the Americans pay for their bases in the region; rather, the opposite—their maintenance (at least in part) is paid for by the host countries. After all, they provide security.
        As far as I remember, these bases appeared on the eve of Operation Desert Storm against Iraq in 1990-1991 and have remained there ever since, despite being a burden to the oil monarchies. Right now, it seems like a dance is underway to withdraw these bases from the region, as US troops are needed elsewhere. The threat of war with Iran and the resulting destruction of these bases by retaliatory strikes have already led to the US withdrawing/having withdrawn its troops from there. This isn't done on a hasty order; it's a complex logistical operation, and it was prepared in advance, but the pretext was very well chosen. If the US does strike Iran, they'd be better off never returning to these bases. That's apparently the plan. Greenland and Canada are far more important to Trump right now – the hassle and risk are minimal, the resources are simply overwhelming, and it also gives him a pretext to leave NATO, which is already preparing to counter US aggression in Greenland. Trump's moves are simply brilliant. So much so that the EU Foreign Minister is already considering going on a drinking binge.

        But the US and Israel will still set this (MB) region on fire. And MI6 has long been planning this, but for their own purposes - to destroy the Gulf monarchies with color revolutions, plunge the region into chaos and anarchy ... destroy/liquidate/deport Israel from the region (they wanted and want them in/to Ukraine, and have been preparing for this since the summer-fall of 2014; the local (Dnipropetrovsk) Yahad TV channel made no secret of this) and establish their own (don't laugh, they are very serious) - British protectorate.
        And by that time, the US, according to their plans, should be mired in a new civil war. These are their real plans, which Trump is now thwarting by preserving the state of Israel. Because as long as Israel sticks out like a splinter in the Arab... soft tissue, London's plans will be very difficult to implement.
        Trump is now treating these "phantom pains of the British Empire," thereby saving his country from anarchy and the Great Patriotic War. And... turning the United States itself into a new World Empire.
        Time will tell how things go for him, but for now, let's watch, enjoy, and resolve our own issues. We still have to reclaim the original Russian lands and restore order there.

    — The strikes from these bases on Iran apparently lead to de-escalation ...

    Why did you post them on your site? belay
    If the pin dossies start to do mischief from your territory, then a response to them on your territory is a matter of course.
    Don't want to be attacked because of them? Drive them away, free yourself from their presence.
    That's all! fellow Yes

    Maybe the Arab countries will also call for Israel not to be attacked?

    I wonder if Trump will listen? He's probably got a mind of his own.

    Hey, guys! That's not how things are done - I'll attack from your territory, but I can't attack your territory... it's not equivalent.

    It seems to me that when the Americans finish their preparations, a video of the "executions" will suddenly surface at the right time, and they will launch a "sudden" strike of "retaliation"! laughing

    It was high time to roll out the basics.
    Now they are half-empty bases, much less roll out.
    And even more so, countries will henceforth think about how to go to bed under June.
    Shatter the American world into pieces
    Otherwise it will be like in Libya, Iraq, Syria and Yugoslavia.

    Arab countries are hinting that the Iranians should immediately sink the aircraft carrier.
