Gulf states anxious about being drawn into Israel lran fight
Israel's attacks on Iran are also putting pressure on the Gulf states, who worry they too could be drawn into the escalating conflict.

Insane Israel will cause our next global war. I’m positive about that.
That must make Putin so sad, he was trying so hard.
Not doubting you, but could you supply the evidence that makes you so confident? Curious to know the full logic too. Globe is kinda big in comparison to 2 or 3 countries no?
Israel makes no secret that they intend to steal more land from their neighbors. They're extremely nationalistic so this is popular for their political leaders. They know the USA will protect them. It's a series of facts with a logical conclusion. If someone else doesn't start it first, they will eventually.
Facts without evidence from 'some_guy' = trust me bro?
Are any of my statements of fact in dispute? I just checked what I wrote and all three are verifiably true. And the idea that they will continue to agitate as a result makes perfect sense.
No disputes. I don't disagree. I was (still am as none has been seen by me) looking for evidence. It was a humble request because I'm overly curious. Sending peace and good vibes to the super-dimension-fortress crew🙂
Gotcha. Cheers.
if you want an academic discussion about world war accelerating events you will have more luck pestering your local professor rather than demanding evidence from someone who isn't intending to apply too much rigor on a lemmy post.
In bro we trust.
Well it's pretty simple to understand that Israel is supported by many western countries, and there are many others who do not support Israel and/or those western countries. Those western countries will support Israel and push their influence onto them, so anyone who wants to oppose the influence of either Israel or any of those western countries will have an incentive to support Iran in the conflict. What you have there is the same set of conditions that led to the world's previous global conflicts.
That sounds like a glorified proxy war than an actual world war. Nobody wants to fight on the behalf of Iran. Most countries are going to distance themselves from the regime, and a few of the more isolated countries will maybe give them weapons... That's about it.
Israel bombed Iran because they know they won't be able to respond. They called them out on their bluff again and Iran did nothing again. Israel has been humiliating Iran for the past several years and they basically dismantled Iran's entire foreign strategy in the region, a strategy they've spent billions and decades working on.
A global war can only happen when the opposing side has enough weight to fight back and bring allies alongside it. Iran doesn't have this capability.
this ages poorly really fast
Except it didn't. If anything their response proves my point. It is such a weak response compared what Israel did to them. Think about it, what did their retaliation actually accomplish? Most of the missles didn't hit, and the very few that did hit didn't hit any strategic targets. They literally only hit random some random buildings and caused some civilian injuries... That's it. Compared to what Israel did to them that's nothing.
Keep in mind in their first attack they targeted the Mossad headquarters and Nevatim base. Israel said they were aiming at civilians, and actually arrested the journalist trying to find where the rockets hit (only democracy in the middle east, amiright?)
so I would be skeptical regarding whatever Israel says about what was hit or how successful it was.
the truth is that whenever Israel decides to randomly bomb and murder people on another country, they will get hit by a barrage that makes their iron dome useless.
You can't hide damage of that significance. Both Israel and Iran lie about the extent of the damages, but damage can be verified. You can't hide dead commanders or hide from satellite images. We tend to have a good idea of what happened shortly after.
In this case, Iran has admitted to a lot of the damages that Israel claimed and a few other of their claims can be verified with satellite imagery. However, Israel hasn't admitted to any strategic damage by Iran nor has there been any verification for the damages that aimed for. Iran can say they aimed for something, that doesn't mean they did. They can claim they hit something, doesn't mean they did.
I understand being skeptical of Israel because they're a dubious source, especially when they're one of the parties involved. That being said, we're at the point where we can tell that Iran's missle barrage yesterday didn't do much.
makes their iron dome useless
Just an FYI, the Iron Dome is not designed to intercept missles. It's designed to intercept short range rockets and artillery. This means that the Iron Dome probably wasn't used at all yesterday. Instead, other systems like Arrow, David's Sling, and THAAD were used since these systems were actually designed to counter missles.
