Will Gulf states enter the Iran war?

"While Iranian strikes against US bases in the region were predictable, Iran has crossed a new threshold by targeting Gulf cities, airports and energy infrastructure. The Gulf states are much closer to Iran and not as heavily defended as Israel, improving Iran's chances of landing hits."

"In a letter sent to the United Nations Security Council, Iran's foreign minister said Iran would exercise its right of self-defense. The country's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, explained that it would consider all US assets in the region to be legitimate targets."

"Your war is not with your neighbors. Later, Gargash also told local media outlet The National that the UAE won't just sit by while being attacked."

Following a joint US-Israeli attack on Iran, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps conducted extensive missile strikes across Gulf states. Initial targets included US military installations such as Navy headquarters in Bahrain, Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, and Ali Al-Salem air base in Kuwait. The attacks subsequently expanded to include civilian infrastructure, luxury hotels, ports, airports, and oil facilities in neighboring Gulf cities. Iran justified these actions as self-defense, declaring all US regional assets legitimate targets. Gulf state leaders condemned the strikes and expressed solidarity with one another, while questioning the effectiveness of their traditional defense approach relying on US military presence and weapons purchases.
