It’s also being reported that Turkey will refuse as well.

World leaders just can’t stand Pedo Joe. They know he’s a thief.

If Turkey did not block it then it would be news.

Agreed. Turkey was a member of the Coalition of the Unwilling back when some of the world still believed US lies.

Maybe some embassies get “accidently” destroyed if the US has to respond.

Ask Libya what happened accidently back during the Reagan terms.

That’s part of the reason, IMO another issue is, when push comes to shove, regardless of being Shiite or Sunni Muslim, they will all stick together against the Jews and the Great Satan in the USA.

Since our ICBMs can reach Tehran and Mecca, I don’t care.

Our weapons could have destroyed the Taliban, too.

That's not a dig at you. Even if it came to war, I wouldn't trust our government to fight to win. It would just be another for profit war that our lying government and the MIC would have no intention of winning.

Prove me wrong. Please.

If the Iran loonies were blasted off the face of the earth, those gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia would be dancing in their streets.

Perhaps the thrust of the question is unclear or wrong; would these countries then allow Iran to use their territories or that of their proxies; Lebanon, Yemen, etc., to launch attacks upon Israel from? I.E. missiles from Houthis in Yemen, Missiles from Hezbollah in Lebanon?
Perhaps a US adminstration with some fortitude could make clear the horrific consequences of such moves to these erstwhile, fair-weather friends of ours?

Well, at least Turkey is being consistent. They would not let the 173rd Airborne Brigade use the US base to land in Kurdish territory. I guess that is why we have aircraft carriers and missile ships.

You’re exactly right. We have the weapons to win, we don’t need their bases. We don’t have the will nor the courage to win. It’s probably better that they don’t allow the use of the bases, that way it’s harder to fiddle f around like we have since Patton died.

“Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Turkey”

Pretty soon our blind support for Israel will cause all of these countries to join up with the Russia & China axis of power. Once Russia can demonstrate that it can hold off the US and protect Iran, the geopolitics of the region are likely to change drastically.

I wonder if they would feel the same way if Trump was President?

They are more afraid of Iran than of the USA. Let that sink in.

Turkey may well try to stick with a “NO” to USA, given the Erdogan problem there.
But rest assured that all of the air bases we built in the Gulf will be very much open to USAF — if and when the locals there see that Biden is finally acting to remove the Iranian threat. Until then, they’re smart to keep as low a profile as they possibly can given Biden’s lack of credibility and control over the Gulf oil being the Iranian thugs’ first priority objective (despite all their rhetoric about USA being their intended first target).
