For decades, Gulf countries built their security doctrine on one assumption: American military protection is the ultimate insurance policy. But this war with Iran is exposing the brutal reality that Washington’s priority is Israeli security, not Gulf security, and the U.S. footprint in the Gulf is a magnet. Those... bases were not “neutral.” They were used for years as staging grounds for planning, surveillance, logistics, and operations aimed at Iran. And once you use a host country’s territory as a launchpad, you turn that country into a front line whether it wants it or not. So the paradox for the GCC is that the very bases meant to protect them are what can pull them into retaliation, because Iran won’t separate the aircraft from the runway, or the missile from the base that enabled it. The Gulf is learning, the hard way, that outsourced security can become imported war.show more

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. has turned Gulf nations with military bases into targets who had no say in the war. Professor Hassan Ahmadian explains that GCC countries are now forced to ask if the U.S. presence is depriving them of the very security it promised. Prof. Ahmadian notes that Iran’s proposal for collective regional security is gaining traction as the limitations of the American security umbrella become impossible to ignore. "The strategic discussion after the war is what Iran wants. Why do we have these bases? Are they to protect us or are they to deprive us of security?" Hassan Ahmadian حسن احمدیان

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Iran just proved US 'security umbrella' in the Gulf is a sham 💬“It was under this illusion that a large number of Gulf countries agreed not only to buy expensive US weapon platforms but also to host its military bases in the region,“ 🇮🇳Rtd Colonel Rajeev Agarwal tells Sputnik. “This war is a lesson not only for the Gulf countries but also for any other nation wanting to secure its national security exclusively through external players. And the lesson is ‘National security cannot be bought‘.“

🚨WAR ON IRAN: ‘The Gulf States were not neutral. We lobbied very hard to STOP this war.’ ‘The US’🇺🇸 Gulf bases and attacks on Gulf States are part of the picture, but that’s not the complete part of the picture. The reason being is because I think Iran made it very clear that the overarching strategy is to raise the cost of the war, to globalise the response… and make sure that the United States will start to feel some of the pressure and therefore scale down their operation. So it’s not about bases.’ -Aziz Alghashian, Senior Non-Resident Fellow at the Gulf International Forum Watch the full interview in the quoted post, or watch it on Rumble, link below in the replies👇

“Energy security, food security, and trade security” — In jeopardy if U.S.-Iran-Israel war not ended. Saudis feel that all modes of prosperity will be halted if the conflict isn’t handled. “What happens in the Gulf never stays in the Gulf,” Al-Ansari says. So, OIL is only one of the worries for U.S. and Israel. We break it down on the Sanchez Effect.

The UAE has functioned as a Trojan horse for American and Israeli power in the Middle East. Hosting bases, intelligence assets, and financial networks while poking at Iran from just across the Gulf. As this war escalates, that role comes with a price: U.S. partners like the UAE are now directly exposed to brutal retaliatory strikes from Iran, turning their own territory into a frontline. Israel has long wanted the United States to bear the costs of confronting Iran, and ultimately to reshape and withdraw from the region on terms favorable to Israeli security doctrine. The more this conflict widens, the more Washington risks getting dragged deeper into a war that could both exhaust U.S. power and destabilize its Gulf allies. What does this mean for the future of the American presence in the Middle East, and how far can this escalation go before it forces a fundamental reset? We break it all down with Douglas Macgregor.

Security and prosperity in the region is indivisible. Kuwait and the Gulf states do not wish ill for Iran: they are not fulfilling an Israeli agenda nor pursuing offensive action against Iran. Iran attacking the Gulf states is not helping its cause. Aired yesterday on TRT.

🎥 Hassan Ahmadian on GCC denial of its role in the war, and a coming strategic reckoning “It has been really surreal to listen to those discussions in the absence of any acknowledgment of the aggression that unfolded — from both the United States and from Israel,” Ahmadian told Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill, describing some of the dominant narratives he debates with Gulf analysts on Al Jazeera Arabic. He said public denial persists even as the reality is widely understood behind the scenes. Ahmadian said a reckoning is underway as Gulf neighbors begin to recognize: “These spaces did not protect us. The defenses that we purchased and paid heavily for were used to defend those bases. And those bases are not for the security of the region — they are for the security of Israel.” jeremy scahill | Hassan Ahmadian حسن احمدیان

🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi slammed a UN Security Council resolution condemning Iranian strikes on Gulf states, noting that the body ignored U.S. and Israel’s unprovoked aggression that triggered the war, as strikes continue across population centers in Iran. ➤ “How is it possible that the Security Council condemned us for defending ourselves and is not condemning the United States and Israel who started this aggression?”

I am the last person to defend the Iranian regime or its ideology. But drop these shallow, pathetic excuses. Claiming ‘Gulf bases are not used’ while hosting foreign forces, sharing intelligence, and providing access is not neutrality, it is wilful denial. Let me be equally clear: I am not here to praise Iran like some ignorant people who present it as the saviour of humanity or the champion of Palestine. If it were, it would not have stood by, like the rest, while tens of thousands of Palestinian children were being killed. Iran acted when its own survival was at stake. That is not heroism; it is instinct. Any state with real military capacity, whether Pakistan or Turkey, would act the same. This is not exceptional courage; it is basic state behaviour. Iran, and countries like Turkey, have at least invested in their military rather than inviting singing prostitutes into Arabia and becoming jizyah payers to degenerate Zionists like Trump and other Epstein-linked devils. Turkey is so strong that Iran does not even dare to confront Azerbaijan, whose sugar daddy is Turkey. As for the rest, of course Iran will target regimes in its vicinity that host large numbers of Zionists and their companies. I do not wish harm upon innocent Muslims in Iran or the Gulf, but this feigned outrage, as if events were not entirely predictable given the treachery of pro-Zionist rulers in the Gulf, is simply pathetic. So enough with the selective narratives. Iran is not a model, but nor are these Gulf states innocent bystanders. When consequences return upon them from every direction, it will be the result of the path they chose and the alliances they enabled, especially the treacherous and criminal Zionist UAE, a facilitator of Zionism in the Peninsula of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Iran’s Attack on Qatar: A Symbolic Move That May Backfire. Iran’s strike on Qatar was symbolic and carefully telegraphed but it risks backfiring. Iran meant to send a warning to Gulf states not to support Israel or the US. But ironically, such actions justify the very reason the US has bases across the Gulf to deter Iran. Now Gulf countries, especially #Qatar, will demand stronger US guarantees for their security. This increases pressure on Washington to respond and reaffirms the US presence in the region.And trust me Trump isnt letting this sit in vault for now. Rather than weakening the US-Gulf alliance, Iran’s move may actually strengthen it, further isolating Tehran and hardening Gulf security postures. #IranIsraelConflict

Left: One of Keir Starmer's justifications for letting the US use British military bases to attack Iran is because UK armed forces in the middle east are at threat from Iran Right: Foreign Office Special Advisor to David Lammy, Ben Judah, "We're so deeply tied in to the US security system, that when you go - as I've been - to several of our bases in the Gulf that what is really ours - I'm going to be honest - is British zones in or by American bases" "Those are currently under attack" "We would very easily come under attack by the Iranians" Cathy Newman, "And then we're dragged into the war" Ben Judah, "Absolutely, a war in which we had no real role in planning, a war we did not choose" "This is what happens when you're so closely tied into a superpower that has become erratic" I'm no fan of the Iranian regime, their oppression of the Iranian people is abhorrent, their extreme abuse of religion to justify it is equally unIslamic and unjust Do we need to protect British citizens abroad? Absolutely. Do we need to keep our military personal safe? 💯 without question But the UK being dragged into the US's war with Iran, surely this can't be a good thing for us?

And the IRGC sees every Western refinery strike as an invitation to respond in kind. Larry Johnson says the West is looking for signs of Iranian weakness while the IRGC is planning to make every Gulf state that enabled this war pay for it economically.

Didn't the Gulf states finance the aggression with billions, open their bases, and intercept Iranian missiles?" "This war is not between Arabs and Persians; it is a war of truth against lies."

The US bases in the Gulf do not turn the Gulf into satellite states or strip their sovereignty. They’re part of mutually agreed upon defense partnerships similar to those between the US and other states in Europe and Asia. That said, this model requires a reset and the same is true regarding the Gulf’s relationship with Iran.

🎥 The “Day After” the Iran War: Amir Handjani of the Quincy Institute tells Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussain that the war has cracked open the Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) deep divisions. One coalition, led by Oman, Qatar, and increasingly Saudi Arabia, is hunting for diplomatic offramps and a day-after arrangement with Iran. The other — Bahrain and Kuwait, with the UAE somewhere in between — is against any day-after engagement. These countries have kept their territory open as US launching pads. Most Gulf states, he notes, weren’t consulted on the war, briefly hoped it would topple Iran, and within weeks realized it wouldn’t. Handjani argues the Gulf states will hedge after the war: not abandon the US umbrella, but diversify, because the bases aren’t coming back and Iran won’t tolerate a heavy US presence near its borders again. He sees the Gulf, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, and Egypt eventually building a collective security architecture with Washington as a guarantor of last resort. Amir Handjani | Ryan Grim | Murtaza Hussain
