When the Israeli army was launching an all-round attack on Rafah and the United States continued to launch retaliatory air strikes in the Middle East, the situation suddenly changed, and the Arab countries quietly intervened.
According to the US "Politico" news network, four people familiar with the matter revealed that some Arab countries, including the United Arab Emirates, are taking action to restrict the behavior of the US military, specifically, prohibiting the United States from using military facilities on its territory to launch retaliatory air strikes against Iranians.
As we all know, the United States has deployed thousands of US troops on the territory of Middle Eastern countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, etc., which usually share military bases with the local ** army, and even sometimes monopolize a fully functioning military base, since the outbreak of the current round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the military base where the US military is located has suffered hundreds of attacks, under Biden's orders, the US military has launched crazy retaliatory air strikes in recent weeks, and these attacks are obviously impossible to launch from the US mainland, Rather, the US military did it by using the military facilities of these Middle Eastern countries.
All in all, a growing number of Arab countries are already moving to limit what the United States can do on its own territory in so-called "self-defense operations," including retaliatory attacks on Iraq, Syria, and the Red Sea.
Why do these Arab countries want to restrict the behavior of the US military?
This is an answer to Iran and an explanation to its own people.
As we said before, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is an event closely related to the Islamic world, especially the Arab world, and Iran can stand up, which is absolutely in the right direction, whether you are a Sunni or a Shia, you have to support Iran on the surface, otherwise it will hurt the feelings of its own people and cause resentment. In the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Arab world itself has not taken any practical action to support Palestine, which in itself is a bit too much to say, and if it still adds to Iran's blockage and provides the United States with conditions to retaliate against Iranian forces, it will definitely smash its own signboard. At this time, most Arab countries are reluctant to quarrel with Iran, let alone appear to be on the side of Israel and the United States.
Second, the United States is already in decline in the Middle East, and anyone will fall into the trap.
How arrogant and unreasonable the United States was in the past, and what about it now? Iran forces attacked the United States, Biden said that he wanted to hold Iran responsible, but in fact he dragged it out, scolding Iran for hitting Iraq and Syria, who can be deterred by such retaliation? Far from deterring others, it has exposed the weakness of the United States and let the outside world know how war-fearing the United States is now. Now that the United States has shown signs of decline, the Arab countries do not mind "falling into the ground."
In fact, in my opinion, limiting the retaliatory attacks of the US military is only the beginning, and if the United States reacts mediocrely to this and has no tricks to do, then the follow-up will inevitably be a comprehensive ignition of anti-American sentiment in the Middle East, and for the United States, the situation has really changed.
