How can these Arab Nations ResponseArab allies fear Iranian state could collapse
Barbara Plett Usher
Reporting from Doha
We continue to hear explosions in Doha and they are being reported around the region.
The Qataris, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan say they are intercepting missiles fired from Iran at US military bases on their territory.
Some of them have said they reserve the right to respond, but they would almost certainly calculate that move very carefully.
This is exactly the outcome that regional leaders have been working very hard to prevent over the past weeks, throwing themselves into efforts to mediate between Iran and the United States.
It’s clear now that the Trump administration took advice from Israel rather than that of its Arab allies.
The Arabs are concerned that the US and Israeli air strikes will destabilise the region and draw it into the war.
They fear that Iran could strike not only the US targets on their soil, but also infrastructure such as gas and oil facilities, or possibly close the Strait of Hormuz through which oil exports are shipped.
In a worst case scenario, they worry that the Iranian state could collapse, leading to a flow of refugees and weapons across their borders, especially as Trump has made clear the aim of the operation is regime change.

yes but lets wait for USA to take its turn
I am sure Chinese satellites and Russian help is on Irans side
if Iran sees huge attack coming they can preemptive strike a American Carriers
Hope this explains why, Brother. Saudis support for the war against Iran is disappointing but predictable. Pakistani under all the fluffy rhetoric made a a crazy defensive pact with Riyadh . Saudis are warmonger s ….
Iranians are not overconfident thats for sure and that elementary school masaccre by pissrael will unite themI think Iran has this they are way to clever inshallah
Americans have miss calculated massively
they have not boots on the ground
Iranians are united
and Iran has hit back
US has no plan B no road map
Iran has basically shown you touch us and we burn everyone
I dont think US + Arabs will want that
well played by Iran so far
