Tehran Warns Arab States Against Allowing Israel to Use Territories for Attacks
Iran has issued diplomatic warnings to Arab states not to permit Israel to utilize their military bases or airspace for retaliatory strikes, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. Tehran has threatened to target US-allied Middle Eastern countries if they enable Israel’s use of their territory or airspace. Countries like Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, where US military bases are located, have been notified of these warnings. Iran’s recent missile attack, retaliating against the assassination of key figures, prompted concerns of further escalation. While Iran defends its actions based on self-defense rights, the Biden administration has urged restraint, advocating for a proportional response from Israel.
