The Persian Gulf countries have warned the United States that they will not allow Washington to use their soil for strikes against Iran in case of a retaliatory attack by the Islamic Republic on the Israeli-occupied territories.
The UK-based news website Middle East Eye cited unnamed sources as saying that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Kuwait had called on the US not to use American military bases on their territories to strike in response to any potential Iranian attack on Israel.

No problem - pull every single unit, hardware, personnel out of those countries- salt the bases and then set them on fire as we leave.
FAFO what it’s like without US.
End their foreign aid immediately.
...I once had a Saudi partner on an office building in the US. He would come over from Saudi once a year and I went to Saudi one time for a couple weeks.
The upper 1% of Saudi’s (in terms of wealth) have enormous egos wayyyyyyy beyond our rich guys. Step on their ego and you have made yourself an enemy. Biden and Blinken have insulted the Saudi leadership (House of Saud) in a thousand different ways and they are just taking this opportunity to flip them the bird...in my opinion.
Which is another reason why B-1’s are coming outta storage. They can take off in Tx, fly all across the world and come back — one refueling.
Ah, our great allies.
Can the B-1s make it to Diego Garcia for refueling?
We’re going to learn the definition of “Hegemony” and hear more about it. The advancing of it, by the USA, has proven to be unappreciated, by 80% of the land mass, therefore, it is set to wane.
The Biden kiddies who are running the US, through the State Department, have mucked up.
There are present indications inside languishing reports that although they are generally supressed, say that the US petroleum reserves and also the US MIL capability & its recruitment numbers are seriously sub-par.
If these conditions are accurate, it is untimely to hear Biden bluster threats against Russia over UKR, against China over Taiwan, and against Iran over Israel.
(Nevermind the purposeful mission in progress to attract a foreign invasion, orchestrated through opening the southern border, funding perks, cash and comfort to unvetted unknown persons and high risk aliens.) Human Trafficking flourishes.
We always knew when the chips were down the Arabs would not help us.
But these are our bases—not theirs.
That’s a great idea. Attack the embassies of the Saudis, Emirates, etc! They would understand they better do what we want form now on!
That’s some real planning ahead and deep neocon thinking there.
In a related point, A friend is being deployed to the middle east, after being reassigned to a US base here in the States about 2 month ago. Just got settled in, when he was told he was being deployed. He based his re-enlistment on originally being told he would be stationed Stateside. They lied; what a surprise!
Is he a career guy? In all reality, the way things seem to breaking, he’s probably just as safe as you and I sleeping in our beds tonight.
I sure as heck don’t want to get our carriers close enough to be in range of Iranian hypersonics or worse, the ones supplied to Iran by Russia. The Patriots yield no defense against the Zircons and Kinzhals in Ukraine. I fear the Aegis System will be just as useless.
Wasn’t it Obama talking about ISIS saying “we don’t want to destroy them, just degrade them.” Halfway measures are self defeating, in this case intentionally.
No. I think he’s a corporal.
What they say publicly, and what they allow privately are two very different things. The Saudis in particular hate the Iranians.
Actually, he said our policy was to degrade and ultimately destroy them, emphasis on “he said”.
I do not believe I said anything about the UAE or the Saudis. As a matter of fact, their air space is not necessary.
Iran is doing what it can to separate any relationship Israel is building with other Arab nations. Many Arab nations “quietly” want Iran cut off at the knees.
