Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued an official video statement about Israel’s strike on Iran:
Israel’s Government Press Office also announces that Prime Minister Netanyahu “has held conversations with world leaders, including the German Chancellor, the Indian Prime Minister and the French President. The Prime Minister is due to speak with US President Trump, Russian President Putin and the British Prime Minister.” Also, “the leaders showed understanding for Israel’s defense needs in the face of the Iranian threat of annihilation; the Prime Minister said that he would continue to be in contact with them in the coming days.”
Where other neighbor states stand:
Jordan: “The Jordanian military announced that it intercepted missiles and drones that entered its airspace, as sirens sounded in the kingdom following a major Israeli attack on Iran early on Friday. In a statement issued by the Jordanian Armed Forces, the military indicated that the interception came in response to fears that the drones launched by Iran in response to the Israeli attack could land in its territory.”
Lebanon: Hizballah backed away from the Israeli war after Lebanese government issued a “clear and strong” warning.
Saudi Arabia has condemned Israel:
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the blatant Israeli aggressions against the brotherly Islamic Republic of Iran, which undermine its sovereignty and security and constitute a clear violation of international laws and norms.
Saudi Arabia also condemned Israel for its “occupation” on October 7, 2023.
Egypt and Kuwait have strongly condemned Israel’s military strikes on Iran, “warning that the attacks represent a threat to regional stability and could spark wider conflict across the Middle East.”
Turkey condemned Israel’s attack on Iran in the “strongest terms.” Days ago, Turkey called Israel a “terrorist state” over its seizure of the Greta Thunberg flotilla ship Madleen.

The Arab States are still Publicly where they were in 1948. If Iran attained Nuclear bombs; they’d be the next step behind Israel and the UN would be silent

one of the American alt-media channels on Rumble was occasionally checking in on statements by IDF and others of their friends and they reported that the Saudis and Emerits were shooting down Iranian missiles… maybe like Jordan’s logic but that still seems like progress…
The video was titled Iran’s Regime Decapitated, and reported that Iranians of the resistance were helping protect IAF planes by co-ordinating with Israel…
Amazing targeting of the leaders w/o hardly any hitting other residences… Much else.. ttyl

The only one on the list that surprised me is Kuwait. None of the Arab countries can think past tomorrow and anticipate what a nuclear armed Iran would do.
First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people, and then those pesky Sunnis that don’t believe that the rulers in Islam have to be part of Prophet Muhammad’s lineage.
I’m glad to see that Hizb’Allah seems to be done as a fighting entity. Yes there will be the occasional shots across Israel’s border, but a mass attack does not seem to be in the stars.

Nothing surprises me about Kuwait. The country that was supposedly deeply grateful to the US in 1991 is dead. I remember in 1992, when I had just come to the US and was in Engineering school, I had a Kuwaiti partner in my lab who was profusely supportive of President Bush 41
However, since then, just like Saudi Arabia and Emirates – the 2 countries aside from Pakistan that were the sole countries to recognize the Taliban regime in Afghanistan pre 9/11 – have changed radically, w/ Riyadh changing its education to stop teaching hatred of Jews & Christians, and Abu Dhabi signing the Abraham Accords, similarly Kuwait has changed as well. Like Qatar, it has become closer to Iran, and has openly said that they’d be the last country to normalize ties w/ Israel (this was after Bahrein and Emirates signed it in Trump 45 term). Kuwait has also been supportive of Pakistan, and is somewhere b/w Saudi Arabia and Qatar in terms of its residual islamic fanaticism (more than the Saudis, less than Qatar)

I recently saw a video of the Saudi prince telling an interviewer that IRAN was like HITLER, and with no mention of ‘Jews’ or ‘Israelis’ simply said the similarity was that Iran was an EXPANSIONIST…. and he didn’t want the Middle East to end up with ”that history”…
So…
although the interview was not at this moment, it did seem aware of the day after tomorrow and ow quickly events can stack up…. ttyl

SA about Iran: “…brotherly Islamic Republic of Iran…”
Explosively hilarious!😂😂 Only Islam can make this stuff up.
If Iran had the nukes, “Brother” Saudi Arabia would be under duress for special privileges to Iran if not losing control of Mecca.
Corollary: To live peaceably in the Muslim neighborhood one must show hatred of Jews, real or Kabuki, at the proper time.
somehistory says
I was under the impression that the saudis had been asking for U.S. military stuff because of their fears iran would attack them.
Weren’t the saudis and the iranians on different sides of the islimeic coin?…sunni vs shia?
Weren’t the saudis fighting the houthis, who fight for iran?
But, now they are “brothers”? “Brother against brother.” (Like the Bible says)
But both against Israel…..they can put aside their fears of iran becoming dominant, and call them “brother.” Temporarily.
Edmund Carey says
How long is it now since the Saudis were recommending to the United States that it do to Iran exactly what Israel has just done? Saudi Arabia shares with many nations its radical fear of a nuclear empowered Iran. But of course the requirements of geo-political rhetoric not only out-weigh any of that, they are supposed to make the rest of us forget it.

I think that the time has come for Israel to perk up and tell countries like Saudi Arabia & Egypt that it will not tolerate the double faced reaction to their moves. If the Saudis want Israel to do something against Iran (which Israel is doing anyway since Teheran is not reprioritizing its sunni neighbors over Israel in terms of hostility), then Israel will do nothing to prevent any damage to the Saudis
Since Britain, France & Germany are about to recognize “Palestine”, I’m not getting the point of Netanyahu trying to explain to them his moves on Iran. He should just snub them and talk to the US, India, Russia and others. In Russia’s case, they barely have Syria w/ the HTS regime being generous enough to allow them to keep their Assad era bases in Latakia, but are about to lose Iran once this regime falls: I can’t imagine a successor secular regime that is reconciled w/ Jerusalem being warm towards Moscow
One thing Israel should watch out for: make sure that Turkey doesn’t try to do in Iran what it did in Syria – take over the place. Otherwise Iran will continue to be the hellhole that it currently is

Netanyahu issues official video statement on Iran strike; Israel’s neighbors respond to strike
…………………………….
Hopefully the surrounding Muslim regimes are just going to talk…

Having Turkey as an ally will be problematic when push comes to shove. They harbor and facilitate sworn enemies of the USA. They will deny use of ours and NATO based when needed. Trump should turn part of Gaza into a permanent US territory and have a permanent US military base that no one can end. A perfect strategic location for a permanent base.

All of these oil rich nations rely on foreign workers to pump their oil. Perhaps in the future israel or the USA could take over one or two of them and the oil can continue to be pumped by the same foreign workers. Those who finance and facilitate the terrorists have no right to sovereignty.
