Saudi Arabia’s🇸🇦 Dr. Abdulaziz Sager, Chairman of the Gulf Research Center:
“The purpose of these American military bases was to provide protection and security. However if these bases do not provide security and protection, then the Gulf States may reassess their relations…
The US did not ask for their permission when it started this operation…the Gulf States opposed this attack on Iran.”
Donald Trump’s biggest own-goal of the disastrous war on Iran was convincing some in the Gulf States that the US is a source of instability and chaos, rather than security, in the Middle East.
