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Earlier, US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dan Kaine announced that the bulk of American forces had been withdrawn from a number of bases in the Middle East, including the largest US military base in the region, Al Udeid in Qatar.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 Also indirect confirmation may be the US's inability to return the military contingent withdrawn from Middle Eastern bases.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.
