Arab states fear they'll pay a price if strikes on Iran prompt wider war
Briefly

In response to the U.S. strike on three Iranian nuclear sites, Arab governments, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, expressed alarm and condemned the intervention, fearing escalation into war. This marks a departure from previous support for U.S. actions against Iran. The regional dynamics have shifted, with many Arab states now viewing Israel as a greater threat than Iran. There are concerns that Iranian retaliation could endanger U.S. military facilities in the Gulf, destabilizing the region further as calls for negotiation intensify.
Gulf states, once supportive of neutralizing Iran's nuclear ambitions, criticized U.S. military action, fearing escalation of conflict and potential war in the region.
Oman cautioned the U.S. strike would exacerbate tensions, violating international law while threatening broader conflict and stability across the Middle East.
