U.S., Israel Pleas Fell On Deaf Ears? Why Saudi, UAE Refused Airspace Use During Iran's Attack

The Wall Street Journal has reported that the U.S. and Israel had sought permission from Saudi Arabia and the UAE to use their airspace to intercept Iran's massive missile and drone blitz on the intervening night of April 13 and 14. But both the Arab nations turned down the request and refused to do so. This despite coordinating with the U.S. on intelligence linked to Iran's attack. Watch how the Iran-Israel conflict has forced the Gulf powers to pick sides.

Let's be clear it wasn't an attack it was retaliation! Iran's retaliation.

[causticsauce]

Just as they say for Israel. Iran has the right TO DEFEND ITS SELF.

From River To Sea, Inshallah Palestine Will Be Free!!!

Love You Iran ;)
ZINDABAAD!!!

[Robinhood.]

It was as if Israel was exposed by Iran. Iran destroyed the fear of Israel in other countries

[orbitx]

"UAE FEELS IT NEEDS TO FOCUS ON ITS OWN NATIONAL INTERESTS AND SECURITY" WOW! What a novel idea for the West to adopt. US and its allies should stop mucking around the Middle-East. Stop funding Israel and fix its own domestic issues.

Correction: Iran's counter attack against Israel.

[PathFinder-bv]

Like what the Veteran US Ranger said,
"IF YOU STAY NEUTRAL, YOU ARE SIDING THE AGRRESSOR"

[doromohammadaiman]

True brotherhood IRAN AND MIDDLE EAST...

[Keith-xt]

Meanwhile nearly 40000 Palestinians are dead an just forgotten about all part of this strategy by Israel

[josephkelly]

Very sad to see Arab countries helping the US and Israel 😢

[wisemeoww]

There is no regional conflict actually. All arabs states must understand that the only enemy is israel and not iran.

[JonaidAmjid-tr]

Israel UK and USA you might hav plans after plans but guess what Allah is the best of the best of the best planner ❤

[laurenth]

You spellt it wrong : you wrote "Iran's attack on Israel" while it is a retaliation.

[AbdullahShaikh-ycxc]

Cries of mother and children falling on deaf ears since October 7

"To maintain a delicate balance in the region..."

What a crock. The only way to maintain a delicate balance in the region is to let the Chosen Thieves taste their own medicine. Maybe then, they would think twice about breaking international laws with impunity.

At the end of the day, prophet Muhammad SAW saying must be remembered "Muslims are brothers to each other" "Muslims are like one body, any part feels pain, the whole body suffers".

[sufianseth]

Sharing information with the culprit is as good as sharing permitting to fly through airspace.

[zareenacassim]

People of relevant countries will take care of the regimes in due time.

[johnakass]

Iran few years ago warned uae that if any threat comes from them they will flatten their cities and oil fields.

[johnomalley]

The US and Israel have used an old English approach, namely divide and conquer.
