Allied states in the Persian Gulf have issued a pointed warning to the Biden administration.
Governments in the region have implored U.S. officials not to use military bases in the region to launch any potential strikes against Iran.
The world is now watching and waiting for a likely Iranian counter-attack against Israel after Israel recently struck and killed several high-profile Iranian targets.
I don’t need to tell you that this situation could easily spiral out of control and propel the world into a full-scale global war.
Middle East Eye had the latest headline regarding the broadening conflict: “Gulf monarchies are urging the US not to use American military bases on their territories to strike in response to any potential Iranian attack on Israel, sources told Middle East Eye.”

Zero Hedge reports:
Rumors have persisted throughout Friday that some countries have even warned that US troops could be banned from their territories should the US carry out aggression against Iran from out of the Gulf region, but such specific threats of shuttering bases have not been confirmed.
OSINT Defender featured this related update: “U.S. Defense Officials have stated that the U.S. Navy is in the process of Rushing at least 2 Arleigh Burke-Class Guided-Missile Destroyers as well as several other Ships into Positions off the Coast of Israel and in the Northern Red Sea, in order to provide Protection to U.S. and Allied Forces from Iranian Attack.
The Re-Positioning reportedly comes after Information on the Timing and Location of a possible Iranian Strike was provided to the U.S. by a ‘Person familiar with the Matter.'”

Asked by reporters about his message to Iran, Biden said simply, “Don’t,” and he underscored Washington’s commitment to defend Israel.
“We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed,” he said.
